Another option is to create a channel change script that backgrounds the
actual channel change.  Either call the real channel change script with
something like:

#!/bin/bash
real_channel_change.sh "$@" &
exit 0

or background the long-running commands in the real script, as possible
(i.e. won't work in some loop-based scripts that send individual channel
digits to irsend, for example).
