no screen saver option

Hello, I have reviewed the forum and see that in the past there is some talk about screen savers and not being able (or even have the option) to change your screen saver. These are relatively old, is there a fix yet?

I'd like the answer also.  I used to have landscapes and starting today, I only see animals and no option to change it in Device Settings.

I’m also having this problem.  My setting was Landscapes and now all I’m seeing is Animals.  Went into Settings and the Screen Saver Type option has disappeared.  There’s no way to select what you want to see (and DEselect Animals).

Agreed! I had landscape as well, now I only have animals, not that they are not cute, but....

Same problem here. Over the weekend, I had landscapes, which I love. Suddenly, I now have animals and no option to change it. The setting has been totally eliminated. What the heck?

Hi there @WickedXfinity. I am sorry to hear that you lost your landscapes screen saver. You are in the right place and I am happy to assist you today. You can actually get your landscapes screen saver back. If you go to Screen saver settings for your X1 TV Box, it will give you the steps on how to change your options. 
Change Your Screen Saver Type
Press the xfinity button on the remote.
Highlight Settings (the gear icon) and press O
Use the down arrow on the remote to highlight Device Settings and press OK.
Use the down arrow on the remote to highlight Screen Saver and press OK.

Highlight Screen Saver Type and press OK.

Use the up arrow or down arrow button to highlight one of the following categories of images: Landscape, Entertainment or Animals. Press OK.

Press Exit to finish.

 

I hope that these steps help you out. If you go to the link I provided you it will have all the steps but it will include pictures with the steps.

Hello, @dsinya. I appreciate you searching our forums to find the answer to your question before posting your own inquiry. We have not made any updates to the screensaver settings. The categories of the images continue to be Landscape, Entertainment or Animals.

But when following your instructions (Xfinity), there is no option to change them. There are only three options:

Screen Save Preview

Screen Saver Starts After: 

Feed

There is no "screen saver type" as an option.

Thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums, user_46ac10. I know I enjoy having the screensaver on the setting I like, so I understand wanting to update the option. Have you tried restarting the box to see if that helps with being able to edit the option?

@XfinityRaul​ Thank you. I realize that those are the three options, however, the category was not visible, so there were not options to choose. My screensaver has came back (with no help from me) all on it's own. I am very grateful to have the forum, thank you again.

Yeah, I don’t want this “wicked”on my television. Please give us screensaver options as the ones you have listed above DO NOT EXIST!!  There is no landscapes or animals, NO OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE!!   Please get this “wicked” garbage off my TV as I pay for my cable and it shouldn’t be what you want to show or advertise.

Yup you keep giving us the steps but there is no screen saver type to pick from this gone. I just restarted my box and still not there. Can you find out why?
