TV standby mode after 4 hours

[jooyeonhan]

I use Fibe TV and it's in standby mode every 4 hours unless I change channel. Is there a way to set longer time?

Sorry to say the standby timer is not a setting that can be changed and it at 4 hours to help prevent burn in. I know you're not the first person to ask about this. I'll be pass along to our TV Product team to see what might come in the future.

Sleep mode because of inactivity is usually the manufacturer trying to meet compliance standards like Energy Star.

I don’t think you can disable or modify the time but pushing any button on the remote in the 4 hour window will reset the inactivity timer.

Then you have to worry about tv sleep mode. 🙂

Got a new  6500 HD receiver. On power off the TV displays Avalable on pay per  view  ETC. Is there any way to shut down receiver  other than unplugging? Tried holding power button on unit and remote with same result .Unit will not shut off.

Hey there @caroled220 . Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Bell Community 🙂 

Fibe TV does not have an option to extend the Standby feature.

If you have Satellite TV check out: How to make changes to the Inactivity Standby feature

Although, we encourage you to keep this feature enabled at all times to ensure that the Program Guide and other important updates are downloaded to your receiver.​

Tried you suggested settings with same result . Unit will still not shut off unless unplugged. When inserting plug the unit goes into search , download ,then display programme guide. .This takes some time. We would prefer keeping the older SD units and returning the newer HD ones.. Will the old ones remain active?

Hey @caroled220. 

We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your new HD receivers.

As we continue to invest in our TV services, we are upgrading all SD Satellite TV customers to HD.

When you power off the new VIP 7802 it doesnt really power off, it goes into standby mode (the android wallpaper is displayed).  Is there a way to actually power it off?  Reason I want to do that is that I want to use the hdmi power off feature on my tv (ie when there is no signal on the hdmi input cable to the tv it shuts off).

Thanks

I think i found it, its in the wallpaper section....now it seems the issue is with my tv, says no input(correct) but it does not power off (power on works ok)....time to keep digging

Anyone know how to disable the screen saver on Fibe TV? 

thanks for your consideration 

[AlexS]

You have already checked all options in the settings? Someone on the forum said there was no way to set a different standby time before sleeping, so it could be it doesn’t have this function.

Keep getting a message on screen saying you’re receiver will be shut down as lack of use but we have been watching for hours happening all the time and we are watching it.

I leave my TV on for my dogs when I'm away.  Given the maximum time of 8hrs, the receiver goes into standby.  My challenge with this is that the screensaver that is applied by the receiver has now burnt the Bell logo into the middle of my TV screen.  Is there a way to a) extend the 8hrs or b) fix the screensaver as given the burnt in Bell image on my TV, I've needed to buy a new TV and don't want to install it until such time as this issue is resolved.  What are my options?

[Stha2022]

I have the same issue but for my cat.  I unsubscribed from the FIBE TV service because I know it is not a priority for Bell to resolve this problem.

HE SHOOTS HE PLEASE USE OK/Select to Continue Viewing

also:  It;s a long pass to the end zone it;s PLEASE USE OK/SELECT CONTINUE VIEWING.

The new VIP7802 TV Box has made the automatice screen saver situation even worse thanbefore because the maximum time between screen saving is only  2 hours  instead of 4 or 8 hours with previous versions.

Is there a way to disable the screensaver entirely?  I'm willing to take full responsibility for any burn in that might occur.

Is there a clear definition somewhere of what constitutes activity i.e. what stops the screen saver from auto activting?  Would bumping the audio volume up/down constitute activity?

Would it be possible to set a hgiher time limit before the screen saver turns on automatically?

e.g 4 hours or 8 hours.?
