If the interference is extremely high in the area where the IR receiver is placed the blue IR confirmation LED may always be on. To reduce the interference to a manageable level, masking tape or paper over the IR receiver can help. Newer TVs may have an 'energy saving function', which when in use the TV can emit a lot of IR interference. Turning this function off can help dramatically.
