I had a similar problem when using a basic IR blaster to transmit to
a Dish 3100 STB.
The Dish receivers expect a higher-than-normal 56 KHz carrier
frequency. If the PC is doing anything at all
computationally-intensive, that 56 KHz can be a little slower at
times, and the receiver misses digits.
The solution is to get a blaster which generates its own carrier
signal, rather than relying on LIRC to generate it in software. I got
a USB_UIRT2, but others work as well.
