Screen saver not working when pausing live tv

Featured Replies

I am using a xrs4500 box and the screen saver kicks in when I'm on the home screen but never activates when I'm watching live TV or vod.

I often need to pause live TV or a movie, sometimes for a long time while I handle a phone call but the screen stays active while paused.

Any thoughts on this?

So there's no chance this might be changed in a future release?

Sorry, I have it set to 5 minutes.

it may have got overlooked in an update

I'm positive it will get resolved in a few weeks

I never noticed because I haven't used screen saver in over 2 years so who knows when it stopped working

When apps are active 

The screen saver won't work. 

That's even if you paused something. 

Sorry but we have no plans to change this.
