Can you confirm (using the channel editor in mythtv-setup or MythWeb)
that your channels on the IR-controlled video source have their
frequency set to the same digits you need the blaster to emit to
control the STB (i.e. the digits you press on the STB's remote to
change channel).

Your second image seems to show the channel number (channum) that
MythTV displays when changing channel, but we need to know that the
digits being sent to the script from MythTV are in fact the correct
ones.

Could you also post your channel change script (or let us know which
of the scripts supplied with MythTV you are using).

Cheers,
Nick
