How to turn off the 'Still Watching?' message on Amazon Fire TV

Quick answer: On your Fire TV, open Settings, select Preferences, then Data Usage Monitoring, then Still Watching, and switch it Off. The pop-up appears after about 4 hours without remote activity, so turning it off keeps signage playing nonstop.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to disable the 'Still Watching?' message on your FireTV

The new FireTV update includes a feature that displays a 'Still Watching?' message on your screen. This happens if your Fire TV remote has been inactive for at least 4 hours, and becomes a problem if you're displaying content using an Amazon Fire TV stick for digital signage.

We've made a super simple guide that will help you disable the 'Still Watching?' message in four easy steps.

Step 1: Click on the settings icon on your Fire TV and select 'Preferences'

Step 2: Next, click on 'Data Usage Monitoring'

Step 3: Select 'Still Watching'

Step 4: Turn 'Off' to disable the 'Still Watching?' message

... and there you go, it was as simple as that. The Fire TV should continue to display your digital signage content without any interruption.
