V2: Anyway to turn off the blinking Ethernet LED?

We recently changed the decor of the living room from a very dark charcoal to a much lighter grey. We now have a reflected and annoying blinking light from the back of the unit. On my Zidoo there is a menu item to turn it off, had a look at the menus in the BW but couldn’t find any setting.
