Can you use separate photo streams as screensaver on different TVs?

I have two Roku TVs, one in my bedroom and one in my living room. I have two photo streams uploaded to the Roku Photo Streams app. I would like for my bedroom TV to play one photo stream set as a screensaver and my living room TV to play the other photo stream. Is this possible?

When I go into the photo streams app, I try to check one photo stream and leave the other un-checked. But when I go to the other TV it changes the stream to the one I just checked on the first TV. Can you really not use different streams on different TVs?

Re: Can you use separate photo streams as screensaver on different TVs?

I'm guessing that like a lot of things, that setting is tied to the Roku account and not the Roku device.  You could always link the devices to different Roku accounts, but that has some drawbacks (like any subscription you have through Roku is also tied to the Roku account).  I'd tag a moderator, but they'd probably just direct you to this:

How to use Photo Streams on your Roku® streaming device | Official Roku Support

That page doesn't really answer the question, but it certainly looks like the setting should be per device.  Under your Roku account, you can only enable/disable Photo Streams, so that also makes me think the albums viewed are tied to the Roku account and not the device.
