I want the Screen Saver OFF PERMANENTLY

Screen Saver needs a OFF option. I work at home, and usually early in the morning. The cable box will refresh but come back up to the screen saver. What is your obsession with the screen saver? I pay the cable bill and I pay my electric bill. I can't always see the TV, I listen a lot because I'm working.  When I do look up the Screen Saver is ON, and what I was listening to was OFF. 

I want the Screen Saver OFF PERMANENTLY. It serves no purpose but to control viewers

I feel that not being able to turn screen saver off is harmful and problematic for people with disabilities. My mother has dementia and does not remember to touch the remote. She also needs the tv on for sleeping!  I plan to contact the  appropriate disability governmental agency to report this. I will do my research. Unless Xfinity provides a work around I will have no choice but to change services and ditch Xfinity after being a loyal customer for longer than I can remember.
