I looked through the settings today and from what I can see in the logs when
the user enters Watch Tv the screensaver is deactivated:

ScreenSaverX11Private: DPMS Deactivated 1

So the only way I can think to protect my Plasma from EPG burn-in (aside
from never falling asleep) would be to re-enable it when the EPG is loaded
on the screen, even if I'm still in LIVETV mode.

Does this sound correct?

I'll submit a patch if so.
