Although mentioned before, does your script having sleeps in it? If you have 100% success on the single digit channels, but only 80% on the others, this is most likely your problem &gt; First the timing. Depending on what the STB expects, it may ignore

&gt; commands that arrive too quickly - it is expecting button pushes from a 
&gt; remote after all. Try extending the delay in your blaster script. From my experience, a sleep of 400ms (0.4 of 1 second) was the correct value for my STB. The script in the first reply to this e-mail used 800ms.

I should have mentioned that I&#39;ve removed the front panel and have 
tried 3 different blaster LED&#39;s in multiple positions all with 
effectively the same result, damned annoying given the very, very, 
very old mythbox worked flawlessly with it&#39;s &nbsp;hauppauge remote until 
other parts of the hardware failed. 
 
I&#39;ll try some repositioning but I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll have no hair by the end 
of the weekend.
