Good News...! I e-mailed intec customer service and they got back to me - here is what you have to do if the playstation 3 and controller do not sync automatically.

1. Make sure the playstation 3 and controller are both turned off.

2. Plug the controller into the playstation using the provided USB cord.

3. Turn on the Playtstation 3 so that it loads the main screen.

4. Turn on the controller using the switch on the front of the control.

5. Press the LINK button (above the home button). - The 4 LED lights will start blinking fast as the controller is searching for the receiver.

6. Plug in the receiver module into an available USB port on the playstation 3 console. - The LED lights will now begin flashing slower.

7. Press home.

........and the controller should now assign itself to a player!!

Long process ... but it works! Follow that exactly ... and it will work.
