"Screen saver" is no screen saver
Xfinity limits the "screen saver" timeout to 5 hours. Obviously, they have no concept of what a screen saver is. We have Dog TV to entertain our dogs . The screen saver makes the programming not viable since the "screen saver" kicks in halfway through the day and interrupts it. You see, a screen saver is supposed to prevent screen burn in by replacing a static screen with a screen using moving pixels. What xfinity does is replace a dynamic screen with a static screen which promotes burn in. Thus, xfinity has created the anti screen saver to ensure burn in on my tv. It is obvious xfinity is forcing the "screen saver" for a selfish reason. Please tell me what the reason is. I pay a lot of money for this service and am quickly running out of patience for this stupidity.

Just to also share, a TV screensaver is an application that displays moving images, patterns, or photos on the screen after a period inactivity. Same goes for most PCs that have it enabled. It was originally designed to prevent "burn-in" on older CRT and plasma TVs but now also serves as an entertainment feature and a way to personalize a device. On modern TVs, particularly OLED models, it is still important for preventing image retention, which is when a still image is "burned in" to the display.
