Roku ultra doesn't play all day

Hello, I leave the TV on for my dogs while I'm at work. When I get home the screen saver is on. I've turned off the 20 minute activity setting. What else can I do? Thank you

Re: Roku ultra doesn't play all day

Turn off Bandwidth Saver:

The Roku "Bandwidth saver" function kicks in when the Roku has received no user input in four hours. It asks if you are still watching, and if it receives no response, it exits the current stream and returns the Roku to its home page.

You can turn this feature on and off via Settings > Network > Bandwidth saver

Note that some individual channels may have a similar feature of their own.
