It looks like the box is waiting for you to press sel/enter on the remote.
You know when you type in a number on a remote and the OSD shows what you
type? It'll hang for a few seconds while it waits for input, and if you
don't press enter, it'll finally just change the channel.

Looks like it takes whatever input you give it and just overflows the
previous input off until it receives an enter or a timeout.

Try sending it a 'zir <channel> sel' and maybe it'll take that, or 'zir
<channel>' and a separate 'zir sel'.
