Channel Issues & Questions

So Recently I've been having this problem with my Roku TV going back to the home screen after a certain amount of hours on Youtube, and other apps but I'm mostly on youtube. I like to put on music in the background as mindless noise. Well ever since I've been doing this, I've been kicked back to the home screen every 4 or so hours, and sometimes it won't happen at all. It's starting to really upset me cause I'm jamming out to music and then I'm kicked back to the home screen and eventually my tv turns off without me noticing. Is there any way at all to fix this?

Roku added a feature that checks every 4 hours for an active user, and if no remote button is pressed it will stop playback. This is to stop Internet usage when no one is using it, which is extremely important for people with data limits. This function is called Bandwidth Saver, and can be disabled in the Settings/Network menu.
