Here is the cable, this is the one I used: 
http://cgi.ebay.com/Universal-Comcast-DTA-Cable-Direct-Cable-/320549166126?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa2381c2e

Please note it is not a direct cable, it is similar to an optical 
isolator. If your IR blaster bug is not working first then this cable 
won't help.

Also the cable is not the problem. I get the same thing with an IR 
blaster bug.
