Pretty much the only reliable way to change channels with dish is with a commercial ir blaster. With 2 of the myblaster devices and 2 receivers I have have not noticed any instances of it missing a channel change in about 3 years of use. If you want to use the myblaster device you can get the latest drivers at myblaster.sourceforge.net. I am the author of the linux drivers so feel free to ask me questions outside the list if you need help.
