    There is no sleep mode with Samsung that would allow an on screen message "Press TIVO or LIVE TV" with TiVo icon. It jumps around my screen to avoid burn in.

    How can I stop this from happening? The TV is often unattended but people are watching it.

    Thanks. TiVo BOLT 6 months old

    Disable Power Saving. Don't use Standby.

    Are you sure it's a Bolt and not a Mini?

    You were right, it is a Mini. I selected "user preferences" but the screen will not populate anything to select.

    I can't find where to "Disable Power Saving. Don't use Standby."

    Appreciate your help.

    Minis go to sleep after a while, I forget the exact time. I don’t think there is anything you can do except periodically pressing a button on the remote.

    Like was posted, you have no control over the Mini. After four hours it goes to Home/TiVo Central and releases its tuner. Twenty minutes later it starts the screen saver.
