As far as television burn in, I'm not sure, but in the booklets for most games, it states a message in regard to it.
" Avoid damage to Your Televison
Do not use with certain televisions
Some televisions, especially front or rear projection types, can be damaged.....blah blah etc etc. "
Not sure about plasma TV, though. Maybe a email to Micro$oft asking the question could ease your mind, but I think what Demon says is right. You would have to leave it for days/weeks to get the burn effect.

I haven't used a plasma TV before, and I don't know much about them. I would contact the people you bought it from to see what they say. You've already paid for it, they'll be honest! :)
A guy I work with here says that they will have problems. He's an electronics wiz, and I'd trust him.
Still; the amount of time that it takes to burn in is what you should be curious. I've got a projection and it takes days and days of the same image to burn in (acording to the manufacturer and the company I bought it from). Longer than I'll ever have an image on the screen.
:d:

hard to believe some of this instruction since most of them is BS. [According to some of them you can't swap HDD in XB
]

we've discussed screen savers and flat TV's to quite an extent.
What about remote controller features for evox?
It seems like they don't have remote support, am I wrong?
If not, does anyone know if they are thinking of adding remote support?
I know i'm lazy, but the way I like my Xbox is with no game controllers, the remote receiver on the controller 4 port and to just put DVD's in without plugging in the controller. I only use the game controllers when I'm playing games.
The way things are now, I put the dvd in, evox boots up and I have to unravel my controller, plug it in, and use the controller to go to ms dashboard so I can then play the dvd.
by the way, I realize that the xbox is a GAMING console and most people have theirs with 4 controllers plugged in constantly, but if there is a way to control evox using the remote, it would be nice to use that feature.
Thanks
