Well, when the box is in standby mode a digital clock appears in the VFD display, and when i start the box the clock dissapears.

is it possible to get the clock to stay in the VFD display all the time, even if i turn the box on?
 
Good question, been looking at the settings but not found anything, it would be better then just a white dot. The Duo showed a clock. Hope someone can answer.

You have to manually modify the skin_user.xml file.
Some XML programming skill and also some skinning knowledge are required.

yes i know about the skin_user xml file, but all i need is to get the vfd display to think its in standby mode all the time, just the get the clock all the time.
 
You have to recode all the <screen...> sections inside that file, one screen for each box status, or at least the 2 most used main screens for channel and multimedia watching.

I do not know whether you can do this when the receiver goes to deep standby, but you can certainly make it to display a digital clock when the receiver in standby. I have played the skin_user.xml. There are some controls in this file. Try to edit the lines under these label <StandbySummary> <global.CurrentTime> with extra care. I would like to suggest that you should think it again whether you wish the receiver stay at STANDBY for all time. The deep standby and standby are quit different for the receiver.

Make a copy before you do any editing. If anything wrong, you may use the backup file.
