Fire TV: Prevent Your Fire TV from Turning Off

Is your Fire TV screen turning off on its own? Make these quick changes to prevent your TV from turning off automatically.

Ensure the Firestick is plugged into a wall outlet, not the TV's USB port, which can provide insufficient power.

On your Fire TV, adjust these settings:

  • Settings > Preferences > Data Usage Monitoring > disable Still Watching
  • Settings > Display & Sound > Screensaver > Start Time > set to Never
  • Settings > Display & Sound  > disable HDMI CEC Device Control
