This is not a case of "downloading updates every night"... you have a newer box (like the dual-tuner receivers that they gave me) that has a screensaver mode (comes up after like 4 hours of inactivity). AFAIK, there is no way to turn this off.

however, if you're using the lirc blaster stuff from http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX_via_Modified_LIRC.html you can just modify dish_chan.sh to send SELECT. Any good remote definition for the dish receivers should have the select button's code defined...

my dish_chan.sh:


#!/bin/sh

SLEEP=.04

XMIT="/usr/local/lirc-ledxmit/bin/ledxmit-irsend"

REMOTE_NAME=JVC_RAW

$XMIT SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME select
sleep $SLEEP

for digit in $(echo $1 | sed -e 's/./& /g'); do
    $XMIT SEND_ONCE $REMOTE_NAME $digit

# note, you may have to tweak the interdigit delay up a bit, depending
# on your DISH receiver model
    sleep $SLEEP
done
