I do not recall a kernel option, but 'setterm -blank 0' disables screen
blanking on a text-mode virtual console.  Each of those has a separate
setting, by the way.

I am not familiar with MythBox.  If it uses X, you may have to disable
xscreensaver, and the built-in screen blanker too (xset s off).  Perhaps
DPMS as well (xset -dpms).

And maybe you also need setterm -powersave off; setterm -powerdown 0.
And perhaps look for a 'blank screen' option in the BIOS.

HTH,
