Pause live TV screensaver - Comes on in 30 seconds?!

I use Roku Express 4k+ for watching DTV Stream and it goes to screensaver in less than 30 seconds after hitting the pause button.  Very annoying.  I was a U-verse customer for 15+ years and the screensaver wouldn't turn on until after several minutes.  I am requesting that DTV stream programmers to please provide a setting in the next update to either defeat the screensaver or at least to add more time before it turns on.  Thanks

An honest question: why does the screensaver bother you (and apparently it’s not just you)?  I don’t know either why they have a screensaver at all or why they switch to it so fast, but personally, if I pause the video to walk away or just do something else for a bit, I don’t really care what is on the screen that I’m not watching.
