If I listen to the Radio on my Digital TV for long periods will the images on the screen burn on? I thought that was why a computer screen has a moving image.

Apparently LCD screens are less likely to have images burnt in. I've read a blurb somewhere that it would take about 10,000 hours of a static image being shown before it's burnt in. Think about it: that's 10,000 ÷ 24 = 416.67 days of the same image continuously owing on that screen.
The thing about computer screensavers is that traditionally computer screens were CRT, where image burn is a big issue. LCD screens don't appear to have that problem as much.

No you won't have a problem. Image burn in or screen burns are only a problem with PLASMA screens. LCD and CRT screens use a different technology to display an image and do not suffer from this problem.
Computer screens usually don't have a moving image, the background image (or wallpaper) is static. They do have a moving image if the screen goes into screen saver mode (which the computer defaults to to stop accidental clicks or keyboard strokes from stuffing up work on the open window/desktop).

tubes have phosphor screens which still images burn into but not with lcds - but the backlight may burn out faster but it really will take a lot of service life before that happens

only if you leave a bright picture up for over 48 hours constant, so no it shouldnt be affected

Yes they can. I seen it for myself. But far likely, it would take a lot of time to do that.
