Some of them, but we're taliking about the TV in the family room. Still a
long way from plasma there.
I guess I am missing something here. (mything?). The MythTV control
menus are on the same screen that shows the TV content? Maybe the
best thing is to turn the TV set off when you are not using it. Saves
energy too. Then you could also disable the screen saver.
(my spellchecker insists that screensaver and spellchecker are each
composed of two separate words)
As far as screen burn-in is concerned, how about TV stations that keep
their logo in a fixed position on the visible picture, overlying
anything else that might be showing.
