The Walkind Dead

I have been waiting months to watch this and was very disappointed with AMC's quality on DirectTV. It looked so terrible that I had to turn it off. I will just download the 720p torrent when it is available. It's not fair that my cable bill is over $80 per month but I cannot get the same quality as

Can the Screen Saver be deactivated or the time extended before it activates?

Is there any way to disable this bloody screen saver or extend the amount of "inactive time" before the thing self activates???? It makes me mental!!!!  If the press ok message popped up after 8-12 hours, it wouldn’t bother me as much... but it pops up for me after 2 hours of not touching my remote!
