How to disable Bandwidth Saver?

It seems like that at about 3 hours of being turned on, the Roku stops and you have to tell it what you want to watch again. And if you don't tell it, it goes to a screen saver.

I purchased the ROKU television for my mother on hospice in a bed in our home. I don’t want the programs to ever go to screensaver. Is there a way to stop ALL channels from going to screen saver after a 3 hour window?
