The other thing that connects the two is infra-red light from the TV  
bouncing around the room and back to the MCE receiver. Mine does the  
same and I've got used to it. It doesn't stop the remote working.  
Stick something over the LED if it bothers you, it's only there to  
tell you the receiver is receiving and you already know that.
