VC Auto Ignore Me?

[DHHJ]

A suggestion for a new feature................

I'm playing with VC while the TV is on- I'm using EG and a USB UIRT to voice control channel selection. Because of background noise, I occasionally pick up some noise and VC/EG acts on it- sometimes changing the channel or turning the satellite components off! (It could also be me muttering something but I'd never admit it to my bride sitting beside me!).

Would it be a good idea to perhaps have a "timer" on VC such that after x seconds, VC goes into a Standby state automatically? A value could be added to the Options tab where the user could indicate the timer duration or select "Never" to defeat the auto Standby. This way, during periods of inactivity, there would be no accidental confidence issues.

Good/bad idea?

good idea.  that is why it is already a feature 

Look on "General" tab of options for "idle timeout (sec)" (near bottom left)

It is set to 0 by default, which means "never".  If you want it to enter standby after 10 seconds enter the number 10 into the field.

Thanks !
