Screen Saver comes on while watching a Recorded Program

The big question is what are your tuners tuned to while you are in playback. There is some evidence that if you are tuned to an XM radio station, you will get the screen saver; the solution being to record something on both tuners from a regular channel, just a few moments will do. That will ensure both tuners are no longer on an XM channel or other similar channel, and might make the screen saver go away.

Good luck,
Tom

I record Lettermen and Leno every night in HD so I don't think I'm on a XM station. I did have it tuned to XM during the holidays a few times. Most recent issue was last night and the tuners were both on SD and/or HD channels. I'll look closer next time it happens. Anyway to tell what the other tuner is on? I know with TiVo I could hit the Live TV button to go back and forth between tuners.

I wonder if one of the tuners hits a program that needs parental control to unlock while watching a recorded program triggers it?

It's happened to me a few times since 10b. Never before.
