now playing screen timer?

After we watch a show (if we're out of the room) itswitches automatically back to the now playing list. Then it stays on that screen for a period of time before automatically switching back to live tv. The problem is that its been staying there for so long I'm starting to see a little burn-in on my tv. Is there a hack to speed up the automatic switch back to live tv from the now playing screen?
Thanks!

I believe you can use TivoWeb to change the value of the timer.

You'll find it in the Constants section on the Resources page in TivoWeb

Just out of curiosity, bobo, what kind of TV are you using that has burn-in? Is it just old, or is it a new LCD?

I changed this value with TiVoWeb today, but it didn't seem to work. I even rebooted the TiVo after the change.

I updated the value to 60 (it was 900). I left the TiVo on the "Now Playing" screen and also the detail screen (with the options for play, delete now, save until, etc.). Neither instance switched back to live TV after 60 seconds. Did I miss something? Is 60 too small of a value?
