directv prevents Apple TV screensaver from running

The DirectTV app has its own screensaver, which is really just a static picture of advertising, that prevents the Apple TV screen saver from starting. Is there a way to set the Apple TV screen saver not override the one from DirecTV. If not, is there a fix in the works. As now, I need to close out of the app in order to allow the Apple TV screen saver to take over.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17

a few weeks back people was talking about the youtube app interfering Yes, the YouTube app now hijacks your Apple TV's screen saver - 9to5Mac


people wrote that they had updated their app rolling the "feature" back because people did not care for it


one can only assume it's required that the developers of your directtv app does the same to resolve it
