daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ /usr/bin/irsend SEND_ONCE DCT700 POWER
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ /usr/local/bin/check_stb
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$ /usr/local/bin/change-channel.sh
irsend: not enough arguments
daryl at daryl-A780L3C:~$

The first command returned no complaints, but did not turn on the stb.
The second, third, and fourth command did cycle the stb on and off.
The fifth, again no change.
The sixth received this complaint because no channel info was given
