@LisaFLA  The screen saver cannot be disabled.   I've heard of a great invention that emits all sorts of sounds like music, talk, even white noise.  I think it's called a radio.

CNN and MSNBC aren't being sued for lying about the 2020 election results. Maybe you should get your "news" from a reliable source since Fox is still lying to you. You will never hear the truth if you don't.

Voice Command remote?

We had Xfinity TV and we had a remote that would respond to your voice. Just  say the name of the channel and you would get it in a second. Does U Verse also have a remote with those options?. Our standard U Verse TV remote looks like 1990s technology and not very user friendly.
