Hi, @user_9602e1. Thank you for reaching out and posting this great question. I believe you are referring to the Screen Saver on X1. Currently, you aren't able to disable this feature, but you can adjust the settings if needed. This will give you more active time before it kicks in. You can pick from 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 5 hours. I'll post the steps below and you can also find step here for your reference: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-screen-saver
