Should it be blinking constantly or only when I click at button on my remote. I did check that in the set up menu for the Cable Box it does say "IR Blaster: Yes". but it's not working for me.<div>

I believe you but I've read many,many posts on Comcasts forums that keep telling me otherwise.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://forums.comcast.com/t5/XfinityTV-and-Equipment/RNG-150-not-responding-to-IR-Blaster/td-p/818846">http://forums.comcast.com/t5/XfinityTV-and-Equipment/RNG-150-not-responding-to-IR-Blaster/td-p/818846</a><br>

If you want to control two set top boxes in the same room you may have problems as Eric mentioned. The Iguana can actually control up to 4 set top boxes.<p>
