A friend of mine here in Howard County tried to do the same thing.  Do you
have a remote from the cable company?  (I imagine not.)  His idea was to
borrow a remote from somebody who was paying for it, program his all-in-one
remote, and use it with his box at home.  It turned out that his newly
programmed remote worked OK on the other guy's cable box, but not on his.
Our theory is that if you're not renting the remote from the cable weasels,
your cable box is not programmed to be receptive to remote control input.
Bummer, huh?
