How do I stop the "Are you still watching" pop-up?

Every four hours the tv stops and asks me if I'm still watching. I've adjusted settings to turn off the bandwidth saver, but it still happens. How do I make this stop. This is incredibly annoying. Especially since when you resume the TV the audio and picture are no longer synced so you have to go to home screen and re-select the program. So annoying.

All apps?  Certain apps?  I believe many apps have their own bandwidth saver functionalities.  (To save their bandwidth.)

Banned but back. Because why not?

If it's a part of the app, there's nothing you can do to stop it unless the app has its own setting, but like @Strega2 said, it's to save their bandwidth.  They're not interested in streaming to your cats.  🙂  Press a button on the remote every hour or so.
