Need ScreenSaver
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: admendel

I recently lost my Ulitimate TV to breakdown and now have a Hughes DirecTV HDVR2. I love it but have one major complaint. There is no automatic Screen Saver for when my 3 year old pauses Teletubbies and leaves the TV on. I am worried about tube "burn in" with this problem. I know I could just turn the TV off, but that is not the point. The point is that TIVO has a great product that has a liability issue if the screen is frozen and burns images into a TV. This seems like an easy software patch for the new upgrade (whenever that may be). Are there any manual button compbinations that will do this? Thanks!

PS. one more request would be to have all the recorded shows show up as groups of shows with the same name, instead of having them individually listed by date... Thanks!

just tell your son not to leave the tv on pause for more than 30mins....why not just record it and when he's ready then watch teletubbies.

That's available in the current version. On the now playing screens, you can add group sorting by pressing 2, or press enter and select it there.

on older versions, there's hacks available.
