Comcast Central Get Help & Support
If your comcast cable boxes (such as Motorolla 3400M based DVRs) locks up and ignores remote button presses, try pressing the MyDVR button on the remote. If that fails, use the remote to turn the box off. If that fails, unplug the box for a few seconds, wait until it turns off, and turn it back on. (That has the side effect of stopping any current recording, and it takes an hour or so to get the TV schedule back.) Comcast boxes tend to lock up, or have trouble getting the TV schedule, unless they are left off most of the time. You can also try refreshing to refresh the box, by calling Comcast at 1-888-634-4434
