Gemini Box Auto Shutoff

I finally figured out how to disable the annoying auto shutoff after 4 hours setting. I hope this helps someone struggling like I was to find the setting using the incorrect instructions provided online when Googling how to disable this. 

1. Use the House button on the remote to open Settings.

1. Open System 

3. Open Device Preferences 

4. Open Screen Saver 

5. Open Power Saving

6. Disable the Power Saving feature

Spot on, @Spirit_Fingers80, and a big thanks for sharing it, so others can be aware. 🙌 The Power Saving on Gemini devices is purposely turned on by default to help customers use less energy and can be completely disabled. John, DIRECTV Community Team
