HD-PVR ir blaster no longer stickingto STB
My ir blaster keep coming off my STB. I know I could tape it on, but my STB is not dedicated 100% to the HD-PVR and I like to still be able to control it via remote, so adding tape may reduce the ability to control it. I could also glue the blaster on, but I don't want to reduce the effectiveness of the blaster to be able to tune. I'm sure others have this same problem, what works?

Scotch transparent double-sided tape. Works great.

a little bit of rubbing alcohol should make the glue sticky again.

Second the motion on double-stick tape. Use alcohol or Goo-Gone to remove old stickum residue first.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The d-sided tape did the trick-- took a couple of tries to get it right though.
