Please make an option to turn off screensaver
It serves no function, and even if it did, there is no reason to not let people turn it off if they want to. The TV channel is the screensaver, and there are all kinds of reasons that people might w...

I agree the screensaver should be an option especially when I pay for a specific Network for my animals while I'm at work. I'm starting to wonder what the point of why I pay for an animal subscription if I can't allow it to run while I'm gone without it being interrupted by a screensaver. I'm thinking of going with a different cable provider because I pay a whole lot for cable and if I wanted it to run all day then that's exactly what I pay for so not giving me an option makes me think I should also get a discount for all the hours that I cannot run the cable as I want to.
Cox TV has options for "Power on Timer" and "Power off Timer". If Contour has those options, set "Power off Timer" to the approximate time-of-day when the screensaver will be activated. Set "Power on Timer" to the channel you want and time to a minute after the "Power off Timer" time. Result: Sometime around the time screensaver would be activated, the cable box will turn off and back on to the channel you want. That should get your animals through most of the day until you get home from work.
If something is recording, does that reset when the screensaver will be activated? If it does, record a short program more frequently than the screensaver activation period. You can delete the filler recordings when you get home.
Or, teach your animals to use the remote (hope they're not goldfish).
