Make sure any push button switch you use, is a normally open switch. (That is open when unpushed, closed when pushed. If it is normally closed, then the switch will keep your TV-B-Gone in reset, for as long as you are not holding the button.

Are you using fresh batteries? That could also make a difference here.
