signals (the Streamzap receiver blinks when I hold it near there). Are

It's taped right over the aperture. It can't get any closer.
I have since tried several different Motorola remote configurations, all
without success. Perhaps I will have to order another blaster just to
rule out the possibility of hardware failure.
