Fix the sleep mode. This is insane.
We pay way too much money to have you dictate how long I can leave my TV on. I need it on to sleep. Fix this. I will cancel service with you. I cannot believe this is even an issue.

I can appreciate where you are coming from with the need for the TV noise to sleep. Unfortunately, while you can change power saving settings, after four hours of inactivity the cable box from go into nap mode and there is not a way to fully disable that feature. We truly appreciate your business and would hate to see you leave due to this feature.

@XfinityBillie What is the difference between On and Off on the Power setting? Put another way what is Nap mode?

Sorry, but still not clear to me. My X1 boxes say they will go to Sleep after 4 hours when the Power Saver is On. So, what happens after four hours when that setting is On or when it is Off?

So, when Power Saver is On, the box essentially turns off - no audio or video? When Off, it keeps working, but maybe with lower audio and/or a screen saver displayed?

Thanks. I'm trying to learn what Nap mode actually does. The post from @XfinityTommy mentions it may drop audio or show a screen saver. Anything more definitive than that? Any user settings that may affect that?

@XfinityRichard Thanks!
One other question. If I am streaming a third party app like YouTube, does the Power Saver function still kick in after four hours?
