I've got a Motorola DCT2000-series cable box also. I used to have two until 
Comcast brought out the 5100. They just left me with the same remote.

I'm controlling my XBox that way.

Yes, they both use the exact same codes. I've got a second nearly identical RS 
remote controlling my DCT2000 upstairs.

Yes, the codes for One-4-All remotes are identical to the ones for RS, because 
both are made by Universal Electronics.

Check out http://www.hifi-remote.com/

Huh. That could be a problem. I don't know anything about any of those, but 
you might be able to tell from the site I linked above which of those remotes 
would also work. That, or if you can get a One-4-All remote, it should be 
able to control all the same stuff as the RS remote, and the programming 
should be only trivially different from the programming for the RS remote. 
The hifi-remote site has a page on how to program just about all O4A and RS 
remotes...
