turn console screensaver off - SOLVED

I do not utilize a graphical user interface.  I am sending music files via HDMI.  When arch console screen goes blank, HDMI stops as well. 

Is there any way to turn the screensaver off in console mode? I tried searching for this but the posts I found deal with x graphical interface which I am not using.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

The solutions was this command:

echo -ne "\033[9;0]" >> /etc/issue
