I have never seen anything light up on the IguanaIR.

I have not used it for a while, but it worked very well when I did use 
it. It is however a bit of a pain to set up. You need to install the 
IguanaIR driver from their web site and set up LIRC. The LIRC that came 
with UBUNTU did not include the IguanaIR support and I had to download 
lirc and compile it myself with IguanaIR support.

You need to find or create an lircd.conf file that matches your remote. 
There is a web site with configuration files for many remotes. If you do 
not find yours there you can create it using the irrecord utility.

You need to start by reading the documentation and instructions on the 
Iguanair web site. They are fairly comprehensive.
