Re: [mythtv-users] burn-in. Should I be worried? - Dev Idea?

[Andrew Palm]

Hi Guys,

Maybe the dev people can steal an idea from TiVo land... which are

1. If the tivo is paused for x amount of time it blanks the screen.
2. If left in a menu for x amount of time it returns to livetv.
3. for MythMusic and other static stuff, maybe have it so either the 
visualization goes full screen after x amount of time or the screen 
blanks after x amount of time.


Screen burning is a issue on all types of monitors, regardless of age. 
Yes that includes LCD, plasma and the good old CRT. I have LCD's at work 
 on KVM's that have been left on 'nt4' login screen, which is burnt in. 
I have read the LCD will loose its burn in, but to do this is need equal 
time off for time on! (and turning it off for 12 months anit a option)

Subject: [mythtv-users] burn-in. Should I be worried?



Hello,

I have a "normal" NTSC TV. Medium quality and nothing fancy.
Should I be worried about burn-in?

Particularly, mythmusic scares me, as only the small visualization
window is actively updated, and I don't want to run the vis.
full screen as it burns too much CPU.

Pausing LiveTV concerns me too, and any of the MythTV menus
scare me, as they're completely static. :)

I started reading a MythTV screensaver thread that I found
via google, but I got frustrated after about 10 iterations of
people arguing for or against a screensaver without any
clear resolution.

So I guess the second part of this question is: Was there a
resolution? Is a screensaver widely accepted as a good thing,
or not? Is there any work being done to that end?

But ultimately, should I be careful (and tell my wife to be
careful) to avoid burn-in on this TV?

Thanks!

The one two weeks before also says his just about ready, wanting for the 
 'real' release now a month later, I'm just asking for a ETA on it.

Re: [mythtv-users] Clock in myth

[Andrew Palm]

One thing I loved with Tivo, a quick right arrow watching something and 
it brought up the menu bar, with the time... great way to find out the time.

Hi All,

So, I may be the only one, but I would really like to have a clock in 
the corner of myth. Maybe not when I am watching TV or movie, but when I 
am going through menus, it would be really useful.


So, any thoughts? Is that done and I just need to enable it, or is there 
hack or does it need to be implemented?


Thanks.

  Andy
