Is the issue that Sony requires ONLY the original remote,
Sony equipment can be controlled by any IR remote that has an appropriate setup (yours don't) or can be taught the correct IR signals (yours can learn.)
or that the Sony remotes I already own aren't the correct alternatives.
Your Sony remotes can learn the necessary signals. Spend $20 or less on a newer remote that has the needed setup code(s), and use this cheap remote to teach the signals to your Sony remote(s). Recommended remotes are mentioned in Posts #4 and 5 in this thread.
Use Setup code Audio 1658 for the DAV, and Audio 1441 (some codes e.g. Surround are on Audio 1558)
If you don't want to spend the $20, it will take an hour or so, but you can manually enter a 5 digit number for each button into a Comcast remote. Some other cable company remotes will work also. I can tell you which 5 digit codes to use.
