Enhanced to check the mythweb status page and determine if the device
is actually recording....

#!/bin/bash

REMOTE_NAME=blaster
DEVICE=/dev/lircd
SLEEP_TIME="0.3"
WAIT_TIME="5"
STB="0_74"
VDEV="/dev/video0"
POWER="${STB}_KEY_POWER"

 send () {
   irsend --device=${DEVICE} SEND_ONCE ${REMOTE_NAME} ${STB}_${1}
   sleep ${SLEEP_TIME}
 }

count=0
until $( wget -o /dev/null -O - --   http://localhost/mythweb/status |
grep ${VDEV} | grep "not recording" > /dev/null );
do
        echo "/dev/video0 is recording...waiting"
        (( count++ ))
        if [ ${count} -gt 1 ]
        then
                echo "Tried ${count} times, giving up...."
                exit 1
        fi
        sleep 5
done

until $(timeout 2 dd if=${VDEV} of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1 1>/dev/null
2>/dev/null )
do
        echo "Powering on STB"
        send KEY_POWER
        sleep ${WAIT_TIME}
done


 for DIGIT in $(echo ${1} | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
   send KEY_${DIGIT}
 done
