Change LED brightness on the NOW TV box

Status: New

Is there any way to change this? When I first got the NOW TV box a few months back, I thought the LED was broken - then the software immediately updated and it worked perfectly! Now with the new software version it's impossible to tell when the box is on/off (unless the TV is on and set to the HDMI input from the box). I saw one person didn't like the bright LED, but I think it's really useful - perhaps you could make it a Setting (user-changeable) or at least brighten it a bit? (It's far too dim at the moment.)

I've had Roku LT ( on which NOWTV box is based) for 18 months and don't even look at white led.

 

Box is controlled by on/off switch at socket and only turned on when needed.

since the firmware update the LED light doesn't come on so it is difficult to tell if the box is on or just not working.

 

If some people find it too bright then make an option to have dim or bright in the settings.

@Anonymous UserNo, don't return it as it's not a faulty box but part of the firmware upgrade.

 

I now look at the box for a dark dash on the front of it, when it's not in use or a solid front cover as the light almost replicates the colour of plastic housing.

 

I'd like to be able to set the brightness myself plus have the ability to tweak other settings.
