I have two 311's, and they do have the screen saver. Perhaps you have 
yours set not to automatically download firmware updates, so you 
never got the feature (which may be the best way to leave it!)

Yes. That's the real reason I bought it. When LIRC is generating the 
carrier signal for a simple IR LED emitter, it can get interrupted by 
other things that happen on the system. The result is that tuning 
will sometimes fail. Dish's receivers are especially susceptible to 
this problem because they use a higher-than-average carrier frequency.
