<div>It only blanks when the machine is idle/in the menu, not when a video is playing. If I start up the frontend and let it sit there, before I've watched any video, it will blank after ten minutes.</div>

<div>The reason I don't want it to blank is that it makes it look like the TV isn't on and it's easy to forget to turn it off.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll try running it from the command line. and see what happens.</div>
