Auto Shutoff

How do you turn off the Auto Shutoff feature? I've tried a couple of things with my Samsung TV's and nothing works...

DTV only has a power saver mode that puts the receiver back into standby mode after 4 hours of remote inactivity.  It is turned off/on in the menu.

Hi @Ajcooln1, let's get you some help.

Since there's no a DIRECTV STREAM box, we kindly recommend to contact the manufacturer to check the options for the settings of the TV itself. Please tell us if you have additional questions.

We're here to help.

Hello @Ajcooln1, let's take a closer look at your screen saver inquiry.

Just to make sure, do you have DIRECTV STREAM or Satellite? Because the DIRECTV app for Satellite isn't available
for Samsung TVs.

Hello @Ajcooln1, happy to help with your inquiry about this feature.

At moment, most of the TV providers are applying this feature as default (including us), so far it can't be removed but we recommend you to interact with the DIRECTV STREAM app to prevent the pop up of this feature.

Thank you for letting us know about your preferences, and it will be taken into account in order to improve our service.
