Press OK to watch U-Verse TV?

This has probably been answered a number of times, but forgive me, I haven't been able to find it. 

 

When I power up my TV, I get an annoying screen that says to press OK to watch TV.  I mean, I pressed the power button on the remote because I want to watch TV, so why am I being asked if I want to watch TV?  To me, watching U-Verse (on the last channel viewed) should be the default.

Do you think it could have been E.T. or the Predator?

The time seems to be variable - anywhere from a few minutes to all day. It is definitely not 4 hours or 6 hours or 8 hours, at least in my house.

Kevin, do you know you can sync your Uverse remote to your TV? That is unless you have a crappy TV e.g, Trutech from Target.

I too at times have to press the OK button after I turn on my receiver.

Actually, per the U-verse support site it's 6 hours:

 

Your AT&T U-verse receiver will turn off automatically, after six hours of inactivity, to conserve energy.

 I can verify in my house and on my DVR, it is exactly 8 hours.  That being said, I would like to toggle that "feature" off.
