MCEUSB transmit not working. Same codes send as receive. Hardware working fine.

Hello,

I am really close to getting this.  Just need some help to finish this 
up please.

A short description of what I am trying to do. I just need to change 
channels in MythTV on a new device.

Essentially, I am transmitting, but nothing is working and codes are not 
activating device.

----------------------------

To do this, I have:

I have an IPTV box called a technicolor IPV5050 ( same codes as Cisco 
IPN330HD ) that there are no known codes for.  So I used IRRecord to 
build a config from the remote that came with the IPV5050.

The receive portion of this works perfectly.  As the codes that are 
setup to receive are also the same ones that I want to send, I am 
thinking I should only have one device config.

When I try to irsend, the command ( irsend SEND_ONCE mce KEY_OK ) is 
accepted fine, and I can see the pulse on a camera coming out, but no 
action on the IPTV box, or with another box listening with IRW. ( I have 
two computer with the same config and receivers set up to test this )

Here are the configs and hardware info.  Any thoughts or advice greatly 
appreciated.

Fedora 25 and lirc 0.9.4C

Hardware is an HP MCEUSB IR Receiver with the plug in transmitter cable 
on the back.  I can see pulses when I try to transmit.
