Many devices frequently means many remotes. Figuring out which remote does what quickly becomes less functional and more of a game of musical chairs. Thankfully, Comcast subscribers have the option of programming multiple devices on one remote. If your coffeetable is cluttered with remotes, programming your Comcast remote to control your Samsung television as well as your cable box will help clean up the mess.
