I noticed that when the power is shut off on a 311 receiver and you press the channel up/down button on the front of the receiver (or with the remote) it will give you system information screen. When pressing the power button or channel up/down button again the info screen disappears. Pressing the select button will also make the info screen disappear I have also noticed that the receiver and smart card information came up on the screen above where it says "progressing 1 of 5 when searching for satellite signal".
