Can you tell me where you found to turn it off? I've looked (agreed, not 
too terribly hard) and the best I've gotten so far is for it to stop 
trying to "power save" the TV (turn off video signal). It still blanks 
the screen on me, though. I don't need this behavior myself, but haven't 
seen an easy way to turn it off (yet).
Thanks.
