Jivelite can certainly be set up to blank the screen when the player it
is controlling is powered off.  The setting to do this is in 'Settings'
-> 'Screen' -> 'Screensavers' -> 'When off'.  If you set this to 'Blank
Screen', then whenever/however the player that Jivelite is controlling
is powered off the screen will be blanked.

A few things to note:
1) Jivelite can be configured to control any player that's attached to
LMS, and it is the power state of that player that is monitored by the
screensaver.  Equally, the power button at top-left operates on the same
player.
2) You can configure how long it takes for the screensaver to kick in
under 'Settings' -> 'Screen' -> 'Screensavers' -> 'Delay'.  For reasons
that I never investigated, there seems to be no delay if the player is
powered off by a different controller (e.g. iPeng).  But certainly, if
you're using the power button in the top-left of Jivelite, then the
delay should apply, so make sure that you're not simply concluding that
it doesn't work before you've allowed that delay to elapse.  I have mine
set to the minimum value of 10 seconds.*
3) The blank screen screensaver in Jivelite isn't quite the same as the
one in SqueezeplayOS, because the hardware control that SqueezeplayOS
uses to turn off the screen (or backlight - can't remember for sure)
doesn't work under the base OS that Jivelite uses.  So in Jivelite the
screensaver simply sets the backlight to its minimum setting of 0%.  So
in a dark bedroom you may still see a faint glow from the screen.  My
workaround is to make sure my eyelids are closed when I'm going to sleep
:-)

*Actually I don't use the blank screen screensaver - I use 'Digital
Clock (Black)', and I leave the backlight on 0% for the Joggler in the
bedroom, which is still quite usable during the day.  I use 'Digital
Clock (Transparent)' for the 'When stopped' screensaver, so that I can
tell at a glance whether the player is still powered, i.e. I can see the
wallpaper behind the clock if the player is on.
