Front Display Colour 6416 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

hockeymancw · 2007-01-23, 11:01 AM

On any picture I see of the 6416, the front display is green, but my box has an orange front display. Is there a way to change this colour?
Thanks

No. There is no way to change the front panel LED colour.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

My display is orange...

I personally think this one color is pretty weak.
Would it really cost much more to have a few color options?
Were paying a fortune for the boxes as is.

On the box that the STB came in, the picture of the STB has a green display and Shaw's website shows a green display. I was hoping that it had the ability to change since I think the green display is a lot nicer - ah, what are you going to do? It's trivial.

Would some translucent plastic in front of the display change your outlook?

Of course you'd need to bit a "Game Bit" to get inside your PVR. Going back in my head to my art class in Grade 9... I'm sure you can't add a color to orange to make it green, since green is composed of yellow and blue.

That is a very innovative solution, but I will stick with the orange for now.
