   You may need to increase the timeout;  the uinit's powered from the serial 
port only while the device is open, so if it exits early, the last signals 
don't get sent (which is why the original version has a delay as an argument).

   I posted an upddated version a couple of months or so ('digibox') along 
with a script ('skychannel') to monitor changing the channel 
'single-threadedly' and turning off after a while.  I'll see if I can google 
an archive link before I post this.


   FWIW, I've started updating the script at home to make use of an ivtvctl 
command that states whether there is sane input (so I know whether to send a 
power-on+sleep at start-up or just a channel-change).

   Also, I've just got into parsing the output of mthbackend's /xml status 
output to see if there's a recording;  I plan to poll every 5 mins. in the 
future and turn the Sky box off when inactive instead of simply 'after 4 hours'.
