I changed to a different, simpler script and have the same problem. 
Channel jumps to 250 when starting watch tv and cannot be changed to a 
new channel.

#!/bin/sh

REMOTE_NAME=SRC-200A_3

for digit in $(printf "%3.3d" $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
     /usr/bin/irsend --device=/dev/lircd SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
     sleep 0.2 # note, you may have to tweak the interdigit delay up a bit
done


* Works fine in a terminal window.



I'm using a usb-uirt ir transmitter unit. Syslog shows the following 
when it connects:

Jan 19 12:36:18 mythtv lircd-0.9.0[1126]: uirt2_raw: UIRT version 0905
Jan 19 12:36:18 mythtv lircd-0.9.0[1126]: removed client
Jan 19 12:36:18 mythtv lircd-0.9.0[1126]: accepted new client on 
/var/run/lirc/lircd

Any ideas?
