    ***NEW 4.2 facility*** Xtrend ET8500 Auto Dimming of LCD

    Sometimes the large brightly lit LCD display on the ET8500 can be frustrating in some environments such as the Lounge

    So in 4.2, a facility has been added to automatically dim the display after a set time period to a specified brightness.
    Obviously when you change something via the remote, the screen reverts to the normal brightness setting so you can see the current information on the LCD display

    To set up, go to Menu/Setup/System/Front Display/settings and change:
    Dim delay: to the required interval
    Brightness (Dimmed): to required setting.

    I typically auto dim down to black (no display) after 5 minutes
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K
