Disable the "Still Watching?" Pop-up on Fire TV

Starting with Fire OS 7, Amazon devices show a "Still Watching?" dialog after 4 hours of inactivity. If the dialog isn't dismissed, the device sleeps. For 24/7 signage, you'll want this off.

note

This pop-up is generated by Fire OS itself, not by SignPresenter. It started appearing by default in a 2023 Fire OS update.
