All valid points but gee, guys, I don't need a light to tell me my 
mythbox is running: it's ON all the time. The only times it wouldn't be 
would be when the house power goes off. (OK, it could be re-booting...)

And it certainly would be ON if we were sitting watching TV!

As to the LCD, it was bright, and distracting and in the end not NEEDED. 
Some people might NEED it on, but I don't. I don't need it for the time 
or for the channel etc.

For that matter I also disconnected the hard drive LED as it's flashing 
was also distracting.

Of course, the box sits directly below the TV right in line of sight...

Your Viewpoint May Vary!
