I am having the same problem also. It either boots me back to home screen after so many hours or completely turns off my tv. I have gone in and turned the bandwith saver to off and I'm still having the issue. Any other ideas I could try? Thanks

Re: Express keeps going to home screen
This keeps happening to me as well. I have a Roku Express.
I can't find in settings how to keep the roku from turning back to the screensaver after being on for a while. I want it to stay on until i tell it to stop

Hi @Kerrlord,
Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community and updating us.
Is restarting your Roku Express help to fix the issue after you do what @RokuTakashi stated above?
Please keep us posted.
