I got the following steps from this thread. I want to make sure to give that credit. I have just compiled the steps that worked for me here all in one page (with screen shots).
The first thing you are going to need is the Cisco RNG200 bin file. That can be downloaded here or here.
That file needs to be saved in your C:\Program Files\Sling Media\SlingPlayer\SBAV folder.
Goto Setup Assistant on your Slingbox. And Select Configure Video Sources.
Select your Connection and Choose Cable Box.
Select Comcast as the manufacture and Other for the model.
Make sure the Lineup is correct, and hit next. And now you will have to select your code to be able to control your DC50X DTA. In the Select Code box, select Custom and type in C2000. Then hit the Power button to test. Remember that the DC50X does not turn off, this will not turn off the box. But it will upload the RNG200 bin file. If you get an error message, make sure you have saved the RNG200 bin file in the correct place.
Now just finish up the Setup Assistant, and you will be good.
Once again, I have to give credit to this thread for this information.

Thanks. It works. Comcast has been passing these Pace Boxes out in Baltimore County, Maryland …. It’ hard to tell that they are made by Pace. Look at the bottom of the label on the bottom.

You need to be a consultant for Slingbox. They were going to charge $29.99 for the service and nobody knew how to do it. You advice worked perfectly. Thank you.

I’m happy you were able to get it to work, and to keep the $30 in your pocket!

Where can we download the older Setup Assistant software? They seem to make you use the web version to setup everything now. The only Comcast “other” I see is “Comcast DCT (other) (Cablebox)” When I pick that it brings up a Comcast remote control that has DVR buttons on it. This sling web setup doesnt have all the options or a programs file directory so not sure what to do next?

EDIT: Found it, they kind of hide it a bit.

I have a DC50Xu, and the C2000 wouldn’t change the channel, but Comcast “Code 9″ did. I’m really glad because I’ve been after this all day. This post gave me the idea to try “Comcast” as the brand. Neither “Motorola” (per Comcast helpline) nor “Pace” worked earlier. The “psuedo-remote” graphic is way more elaborate than the actual (it’s the DVR model), but who cares, you can still change the channel.

I still can’t get this to work. Are there any other options? I’m using a HD-Pro with a DC50xu.
I have uploaded the file and followed the step. I enter the code and get nothing. I confirm the path but do not see the enumerated codes. I’ve gone through this a few times to no avail. I am about the return the box as I don;t want to pay for it and at least the 7-8 channels they “give” me is better than one channel I can’t change.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Did you do what Cindy said and try “Comcast” as the brand and “Code 9″?
