Cisco 4585DVB
 

Hi all,

Sorry for interupting you all, but does anyone know how if possible to dim the brightness of the blue display on the V HD box (CISCO 4585DVB). My bedroom is illuminated at night like a shop window in Amsterdam !!!

Thanks in advance.

Possibly switch off the plug, It's not a V+ so does it need to be on? :)

Re: Cisco 4585DVB
 

Thanks but the plugs a pain to get to. Any other options?

Re: Cisco 4585DVB
 

Have you looked through the settings menu to see if there is anything? On my V+ I just use 2 pieces of card to cover the blue lights on the front :)

Re: Cisco 4585DVB
 

Either use card or pull the lead out of the back of the box.

Thanks Chaps !!!

It could be worse have you seen a V+ lights when that is in standby, you could read in bed with that light.:D

The display does dim when it goes into standby, I've even noticed the colon not flashing during the night. You can also choose to put it into power saving standby which switches off the clock display.

Thanks i'll try that.

When you press the standby button on the remote, it asks you if you want to turn the box to "standby" or "power off" select power off and all the lights will go out except a red power light. If you select standby the blue clock stays on.

Thanks Mate.

No Worries :)

B and Q do a R/C for household sockets, it simply plugs in to the wall and the devices plugs into the device.

I've seen something similar in PoundStrecher as well. I use one in the conservatory to turn off the V box, TV, Wii etc etc etc...


Hope that helps
