How to switch off the screen for St-By power saving?

Is there any way how to switch the display completely off? Not only blank screen?
I'd like to use it for the software St-By. I've reduced the CPU frequency down, disabled all connections and peripherals, but I'm not able to switch off the HDMI output to force the display to go to the St-By. It blanks the screen after some time naturally, but it's not enough, because it keeps the sync. and therefor the display is still on.

Rich:
Hi jgrulich
Have you tried:

--- Code: ---xset dpms force off
--- End code ---

jgrulich:
Hi Rich,

hence I'm not using the X version, but only command line one, I've no xset available.

Regards,

Jan

jgrulich:
I need something like this for Rasbian:
Switch on
“/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p”

Switch off
“/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o”

I'm afraid there is no easy utility for DPMS on the console only. Just in X.
