I just tried running the script from the terminal,with the following result:

daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ /usr/local/bin/change-channel.sh
irsend: not enough arguments
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$

This is the script:

REMOTE_NAME=DCT700
cmd="$1"

/usr/local/bin/check_stb 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null || :
sleep 2

case $cmd in
    [0-9]*)
    for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
        irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
        sleep 0.2
        # If things work OK with sleep 1, try this for faster channel changes:
        # sleep 0.3
    done
        irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME OK
sleep 1
        irsend -d /dev/lircd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME EXIT
    ;;

    *)
        irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $cmd
        ;;
esac

Why would this stop running co-incident to installing another tuner?
