Hi Daryl,

>From what I can see, this script takes a argument, which looks to be the
channel number.  I'd try running it again with something like

/usr/local/bin/change-channel.sh 901  (pick a valid number)

If that fails to change the channel, the problem is with the script or
possibly the IR-Blaster.  I don't have one of these so I'm not sure what to
tell you to do next.  You could try changing the sleep time in the script
from 0.2 to something greater than 0.2.

My two cents. :)
