Hello @dicky875 Thank you for reaching out to us about the screen saver. At this time the screen saver can not be disabled however, you can change the settings to 5 hours. To make the changes you would press the Xfinity key then Setting Icon>Device Settings>Screen Saver>Screen Saver Start After. From here you can choose 5, 15, 30 minutes or 5 hours.

Hi, @dicky875! I am sorry to hear that we have made you feel this way about the screensaver time. As someone who also has a relative with disabilities, I can understand the inconvenience that the time-saver has caused you. At Comcast, your experience is our number one product. What I recommend from here is providing your feedback at the following link to ensure your feedback is heard. Your feedback is very important to us so we can make the corrections necessary to prevent this kind of unfavorable viewing experience from happening in the future. This link is to our feedback  section located at the bottom of our website. It’s really cool actually. I just love how XFINITY is always striving for technological innovation. Do you have any additional questions or concerns for us today?

@XfinityTimothyA​  we don’t understand why it can’t be disabled. This has been a problem for a few years now. Why it hasn’t been fixed is the question and why it happened in the first place is another question. I’ve had XFINITY for years and this was not an issue until the last few years. Too many people have a problem with it to keep ignoring it. I consistently check to see if the issue has been resolved as it is a daily problem and I’m consistently disappointed. We are looking at other services now since this basic customer service is non existent.

I agree. I used Google automations to improve my quality of life because of my disabilities and unfortunately I can turn the TV on but not view content because of the screensaver. Is very frustrating here this cannot be disabled

I pay over $300.00 a month and if I want the TV on all day that is my business and it should be available. [Edited: "Language"]

I agree, customers need to have the option of turning off the screen saver!  My elderly parent leaves the TV on 24/7.  When it comes on she does not know how to get the tv program back on, resulting in late night trips to her home just to push a button to get the stupid thing off the TV!!

I have a husband with dementia who watches westerns all day and cannot operate a remote or TV.  If I'm out then he has to sit and stare at TV because no sound or picture is on.  I would like to know how to fix this problem also.

Hey @user_23cfc2, thank you for reaching out to us on our forums. Currently there isn't an option to disable it completely but we do appreciate your feedback. Our site here, is another great option for product feedback. Xfinity uses these feedbacks constantly to try and have the best options we can for our customers.
