IrTrans - I want it blank when in standby (1 Viewer)

[James]

Hi All IrTrans users,

I have a OrigenAE case (formerly UNEED/DIGN) and it has a IrTrans VFD in it (VF110) and when the display is not in use (standby/hibernate/shutdown) it displays the date/time. I'm not sure if this is true for all IrTrans displays or only the OrigenAE ones?

I would like the display to be blank when my MP box is in standby. So I opened a request ticket with OrigenAE support and got the following answer:

Dear Sir,

Unfortunately our VFD does not support the feature you require. When not in use it will default to showing date/time.
We have not had other requests for this feature, but should we see a demand for this we will request IR Trans developer to incorporate thsi feature.

Best regards,
OrigenAE Support Team

I was interested to know if anyone else here would also like this option, so that I can push OrigenAE/IrTrans to develop it?

I asked if the Startup Message "Welcome To HTPC" could be used instead of the time when not in use.

Maybe more people would be interested in having a fixed message on the VFD when the PC is in standby?

See here for instructions to change this default message -> http://www.origenae.com/support/index.php?action=kb&article=40

Their reply:

Dear Sir,

We will suggest this to the developer, but can not garantee it will be implemented.


Best regards,
