Screen Saver?

SeasideC — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 11:29:26 GMT

Hello

Just got BT TV with the new Pro Box - all is well. Does the box have such a facility that cuts to a screen saver when it has been on 'pause' for a certain length of time - thus avoiding screen burn on the TV? Failing that, is there an app which can be added to do the same thing? I run it in the 'always ready' power option.

Thanks.

Hello @SeasideC thank you for your post today 😀

TV Burn is rare on new TV’s these days, I have left my TV on pause until it turns itself off 3 hours later about 4 times a week I have no burn issues.

But you can turn the TV off and the box will remain on pause but no time out screensaver when on pause at this time.

Perhaps as a workaround look within the settings of your TV as some models will have an built in screensaver fucntion when it detects static image for too long.
