How to turn off DirecTV screen saver?

[hgfgfhgff]

Is there a way to turn off the screen saver that pops up after so many minutes? It's so annoying that I have to press a button on the remote to get it to go back to what I was watching.

I have the same problem. People keep saying about power save but that's not it. Power save has nothing to do with screen saver coming on.

Hi,
There are some tips in this direcTV forum post:
HR34/700 - how do we turn off screen saver?&nbs... | DIRECTV Technical Forums
But I did not see a solution to turn off the screen saver.

I turned my screen saver off
Then had to get a new box now it wont cut off

It looks like a fix from another site is working. Press and hold EXIT until it reverts to SD. Then, press and hold again until it comes back to HD. So far, so good.

I think perhaps disabling power saver will disable the screen saver:

Click the MENU button on your remote, select Settings, and then select Power Saving. To turn off the power-saving feature, select Off.

I may be wrong, since its been years since I had DirecTV. Anyone else on the forum have an answer for our guest?

Thank you so much those ads were driving me insane! I can’t wait until June when my contract with at&t runs out!!!

There is now a way to manually reset and update your satellite receiver. The previous software had a bug but it has since been updated. Follow the steps on the link provided to reset and update your receiver.
