There are many screen savers on the Google Play Store so you can give your Android TV a whole new look. Type 'screen saver' or 'daydream' (the old name of the feature) in the search bar, then install the template you like.

Once installed, you can set it as home screen. Select the settings icon in the right corner of the main screen to open the Settings section .

If you use the home screen from the Play Store, the options for that app open automatically. Some will require more setup. Select the relevant features, then press the Back button on the remote.

'When to Start': Minutes of inactivity to start the idle screen.
'Put Device to Sleep': The number of minutes of inactivity before the TV sleeps.

'Sleep Now': Turns the TV on to sleep immediately.
'Stay Awake on Music': If there is a music app running, the TV will not enter sleep mode.
