Jim,
Thanks for the work!
I have the same cable box (and provider) as you, DCT 2244, and am using
the python scripts to change channel successfully:
[root at mythtv dct-channel-1.3]# /usr/local/bin/changechannel.bin 40
changing channel to 040
chancode is c

I just downloaded/compiled your program but it's not happy:
[root at mythtv dct-channel-1.3]# ./channel -p /dev/ttyS0 -vv 40

Any idea what's up?
