TV standby mode after 4 hours

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?

"As I have mentioned in previous posts, there is no option or setting built into the Fibe TV equipment that will allow you to extend the standby time for Fibe TV. "

 

The Fibe TV app does not have "equipment" it's an app.  It's a script of code that can be updated to change or add features.  The people posting here are asking for such an update to give us the consumer the option.

 

This is not a piece of hardware that cannot be altered.

I don't remember having to log in 4 to 5 times a day. I am so tired of this feature I am considering canceling my subscription to Bell.

Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community Forum.

Thank you for posting your concern on the Bell Community forum.

Unfortunately, there is no option or setting built into the Fibe TV equipment that will allow you to extend the standby time for Fibe TV. 

Similarly, there is no time limit setting on the Fibe TV App to extend usage. The standby timer is not a setting that can be adjusted or changed on Fibe TV. The equipment was engineered & designed this way to prevent TV screen burn in.

You can extend the inactivity standby time from 4- 8 hours on Bell Satellite TV if you have a Whole Home PVR 9500 / Whole Home receiver 7500 / HD receiver 6500 or an earlier model 9400

Take care.

What is this response of "the equipment is not engineered"?  What equipment?  It's an app, a piece of software that can be updated and altered to add features.

Its 2026. What TV have "burn in". Some lights can dim quicker than others but thats 1000's of hours

No its because bandwidth costs money so they try and save themselves money.  TVs in 2026 dont burn anything in.
