Not sure what the problem could be but you should dress up your solder joints. The green arrows show good joints and the red are bad ones but there are also some marginal that could use some work. Take a look at this Soldering Guide for help.

The tv-b-gone flashes 3 times to signal start then continues to flash. The codes can take awhile so maybe your tv is at the back of the list. try it again and wait for the 3 flashes a second time.
