[mythtv-users] MyIRBlaster - Myth Issues Only??

[David Ellis]

Solved.

I inserted a sleep command in the changechannel script BEFORE I send the 
command.

sleep .5

Its possibly a thread contention issue of some sort? Anyway experiment with 
different sleep options to get the best configuration for your setup.
