What does the red message light on my cable box mean? It's Model: DCT700US.  The TV was on all night, and when I tried to turn it off the morning the controller wouldn't work.

What are you trying to turn off and what are you trying to turn it off with?

The red light means you have a message from Comcast.  Hit the Menu button and then select message to see what it is.  DCT700 manual:

After spending about 40 minutes with a " Comcast Chat" tech,  pulling all the plugs, giving numbers on all 3 boxes, and finally a "Signal", the lights left.   After about 5 mins, all 3 boxes had  the same red light again.

I just happened to have a few minutes and typed the question into my Xfinity search...WOW...Instantly found the remedy and got rid of the lights for good.  Thanks!!!!!
