IQ2 IR Blaster issue

Hi All
I know all this is a bit old but i am still wanting to stick to W7 MCE as long as i can
I have set up foxtell with IQ2 & Colossus V1 card IR Server suite as per Nigelteks post (viewtopic.php?t=9298)
all running ok but i have this weird issue where during the day the channel change is pretty much ok but at night time or lower light the ir blaster light flashes as per normal when i go to change channels but it wont light the blue (IR received) light or register on iq2 (as in no channel change)
Really strange
seems like it is something to do with different light conditions anyone else had something like this or heard of something similar
Cheers Glenn

Just in case this may help someone else with a similar problem
I messed around with this for ages & was nearly going to trash the system but i ended up trying another IR Blaster which i had & that fixed the problem
I had to move it around on the sensor a few times to get the correct placement but since then the channel change has been pretty much faultless
Cheers Glenn
