Screen Saver
I have a plasma tv. Occassionaly I need to pause the program I am watching. I do not want to burn in my screen during the process. Direct TV had a screen saver that would kick in after a minute or two. Why isn't there that capability in U-verse? Perhaps AT&T should consider upgrading the software to allow this.

If you are watching a recording, just hit the last button & you will get another channel with activity. When you hit the last button again you will return to where you left.
If it is live, I guess you would have to do a couple steps to get into a recording mode.

Thanks for your response. I agree that a short pause won't cause any problems, but what if I forget about having paused it and start and do something else. I really want AT&T to upgrade their software to allow a screen saver to start after a short period of time.

At&t did implement a "fix" for this some time ago. Not sure if it is still in effect. If you press the stop button within less than 5 minutes it starts playing again.

That's fine, but what if it's longer than 5 minutes? The screen saver that direct tv has, goes on until you click something else.

They already have a screen saver that pops up. If you leave a program paused long enough the ATT blue screen comes on. I have seen it several times.

It will take several weeks of being on the same image to do any permanent damage to your tv. Your tv may also have a screen saver. Most people don't want the screen save to show up now a days.
