Channel change script modification

My DCT2524 will pause for a moment when changing channels if I don't provide 3 digits. Entering "008" changes the channel much quicker than just entering "8". I modified the script from the contrib directory slightly to always enter 3 digits. My box seems to work best with a delay of about 0.3 seconds between each number being sent (via IR blaster). Here is my script:

#!/bin/sh

REMOTE_NAME=DCT2524
cmd="$1"
SLEEPTIME=0.3

case $cmd in
    [0-9]*)

    # Enter some zeros first if needed - send 3 digits total
    nums=`echo $cmd | wc -c`
    if [ $nums -le 3 ]; then
        irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME 0
        sleep $SLEEPTIME
    fi
    if [ $nums -le 2 ]; then
        irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME 0
        sleep $SLEEPTIME
    fi

    for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
        irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit
        sleep $SLEEPTIME
    done
    ;;

    *)
        irsend SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $cmd
        ;;
