Just bought a new LG Home Theater system that my Comcast remote won't control. Need a recommendation of a universal remote that will control/replace my comcast remote....have a Cisco/SA RNG200N cable box.

Cheapest is to get Comcast to replace your remote with the 1067BC4, where the 4 is the important number, since it represents a new series of remotes which have the necessary setup codes.  That's probably not going to be easy, so another possibility is the RCA RCRP05B.   Here's an Amazon listing for <$10.  Use setup code Cable 1982 for your RNG cable box, and Audio 1293, or 2197, or Video (DVD or DVR) 1906 for the LG.

Other remotes made by UEI which have both the 1982 and the LG setup codes would also work.

Of course, the Harmony line of remotes will work.

Thx for the recommendation ! Will try the RCA model - has good reviews, and it looks like I can buy some kind of cable to enter codes if I need them (am a newbie, but willing to learn). Will also scan through the UEI & Harmony lines to see if any are laid out close to the comcast remote. Again, thanks.

If you buy a JP1.3 flash cable  (<$20), then you can program the Comcast remote to control the LG.  Some people (including my wife) really like the feel and layout of the Comcast remote.
