Extender picture goes black after 15 minutes

OK its happened again and I lost the link to the fix.
Does anyone know how to go into the hive and fix my hibernating picture?

When watching my MCE through the extender (xbox 360) the screen goes black after about 15 minutes. I can wake it back up by pushing any button on the remote.

It is not the xbox's screen saver. That has already been disabled. And its not the power saver on the computer.

The fix is buried in the hive of the Vista MCE on the PC. Before I had to go in and find the super long number that identified the extender (there's more than one if you have more than one extender) then take that number to another place and change a setting number to 0.

There's a super simple instruction out here somewhere.
