Screensaver for Vista media center, like the xbox 360

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible to dim the vista media center gui after a certain period of inactivity, much like the xbox 360 does, when running as an extender (or if its not).

I'm asking because I accidentally left my plasma on, displaying the TV guide for about an hour, and I got a bit of screen burn, thankfully I managed to get rid of it by running a test pattern, but I would like to make sure the same thing does not happen again. It would also be nice to use media center to play music etc, without having to turn the screen on and off all the time.

Any help/tips appreciated,

Cheers.

Cant you just use the normal screensaver or monitor off in the power settings ?
