Bandwidth saver off not working

I do not have limitations on my data. I intentionally leave my TV on for the period of time I’m away so my dogs can have some noise to distract them from other things. When I first turned off the bandwidth saver, the tv and the Roku app stayed on. Now, even though the bandwidth saver is still set to off, I come home after 3 hours and the tv and roku box are off???

I want it to stay on 24/7 unless I choose to shut it off… how???

@HighSierraYeti-

What channel are you leaving on for your dogs?  Some channels have their own "are you still watching" features.

Re: Bandwidth saver off not working

It’s Roku’s streaming app and I just chose 30 Rock. That first day 30 Rock was playing all the way to episode 13 through the day, after that I only get about 4-5 before it shuts off. When I get home it’s all off.
