Power Saver/Screen Saver

[render1]

Ever since the last release (0x256) all three of my HR2x boxes have been either going into power save mode or screen saver mode.
I have turned off the power saver and rebooted, but it doesn't help. They either go to sleep or have the D* logo dancing around the screen.

I realize it's only a minor annoyance. But if I turn it off it should be off.

Anyone else experience this?
Any way to actually shut it off?

Thanks

Curious, what boxes are you referring to (models)?

I haven't had that happen on any of my recvrs, but I'm currently using the HR24's.
You said you turned that option OFF in the menu's correct ?

It's a bug, I see it on my HR20 and HR24. DirecTV knows about it but has not fixed it yet.

cant you just turn off the "power saving" mode option

op claims he did. i've read about this bug from others (not here). thankfully that's one issue i'm not experiencing.

Yes, but this issue is not power save, it is a screensaver bug.

i have this issue on my hr-24 has happened several times the power-saving feature is turned off

models are hr21 & hr22

And yes, I did turn off the power saver.

I guess it's just another little annoyance that D* feels we should have to endure.

Thanks for the info.

The power saver issue may be a bug, but not the screen saver. I don't think there is an option to disable it.

Just one final thought.

I use HDMI connections on all the HR2xs, so they "know" when the TVs are on.
At some point after I turn off the TV(s), the screen saver kicks in.

Doesn't it seem totally idiotic to have a SCREENSAVER running when the TV and (most important) the SCREEN is off?

If your TV is OFF, how do you know the screensaver is on ?
