I have a PVR-500 with a similar blaster.  Unfortunately, you are farther 
ahead of me because I have never been able to get mine to work.

I can tell you that I used a camcorder in IR mode ("night mode") to 
verify the IR LED was sending something (I could see short pulses of 
green light). 

Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
