Screen goes black when watching Xbox Recorded TV

[bonjupiter]

Hi All

A friend has a situation where her TV is going black after approx 15mins of watching recorded TV. The sound keeps playing. If she presses a button on the remote it all comes back okay.

Before I go over there, would you all agree that its something to do with the TV? Or has anybody else seen this on the xbox?

Regards,

Brock

this fixed this exact problem for me

1.) Turn on the 360 and load up the Media Center Extender frontend.
2.) Bring up a command prompt window on the PC and run the regedit utility.
3.) Browse to the registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\hivelist

4.) Make note of the registry user key associated to the Media Center user (probably Mcx1 although I assume there maybe an Mcx2 etc. if you have more that one extender). See this screenshot.
5.) Browse to the registry location:

HKEY_USERS\[registry user key from step 4]\Control Panel\Desktop

6.) Change the ScreenSaveActive key to 0 by double clicking it. See this screenshot.
