Here's mine;

#!/usr/bin/python

import os, sys
#import time

try:
        channel = sys.argv[1]
except:
        print "Usage: change_chan.py NUMBER"
        sys.exit()
else:
        if len(channel) == 1:
                channel = "00%s" % channel
        if len(channel) == 2:
                channel = "0%s" % channel
        for number in channel:
                os.system('/usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend 
SEND_ONCE DTH335 %s' % number)


Python is overkill but I use it for other stuff so it's on there anyway. My 
Skybox (Motorola) doesn't seem to care about how fast you send the digits so 
there's no sleep. Also sending all three digits is faster for me as the Sky 
box then doesn't have to pause when you are finished waiting for more input.
