Live TV switches to Home Screen

I have an Onn Roku TV with Model # 100012590, and I need to leave it on Live TV all night because that's how my kid sleeps. It keeps switching from Live TV to the Home Screen in the middle of the night, even though I already disabled 'Auto Power Savings' and the Screen Saver. How can I stop the TV from switching to the Home Screen?

Have you turned off the "Bandwidth saver" under the Network settings?

Re: Live TV switches to Home Screen

'Bandwidth Saver' was On, so I turned it Off. Then, in the middle of the night, instead of switching to the home screen, it wouldn't play videos in Live TV, YouTube, or by casting videos. Turning Bandwidth Saver On and restarting didn't fix the problem. I had to do a Factory Reset, so now I'm back to where I began. Please help.

Re: Live TV switches to Home Screen

When you say you're back to where you began, are you saying that it stops playing in the middle of the night and "Bandwith saver" is enabled?

Re: Live TV switches to Home Screen

Well if disabling "Bandwidth saver" doesn't work,  all I can suggest is finding something to watch on a different app or connecting an antenna and watching good old fashioned over-the-air TV.  I don't know how disabling "Bandwidth saver" could have the effect you saw, but I can only watch "Live TV" until an ad comes on and then I move on to something else.
