Yes. I am running 2 systems with serial IR blasters controlling cable
boxes and have no problems with either (extremely rarely one of the
numbers is not registered on the cable box, but that happens with the
regular remote also).

I am currently running SVN 10424 and LIRC 0.8.1 (cvs20060325) on FC4.
I also ran the IR blasters on FC2 with no problems either. My channel
change script is very simple:

#!/bin/sh
REMOTE_NAME=DI4001N
for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
  /usr/bin/irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
  sleep 0.5
done

Are you sure you do not have any old video sources (and associated
channels) in the database that may be interfering with the normal
operation of MythTV?
