The Amazon Fire TV is a versatile device that offers you many interesting functions, such as the possibility of watching all DTT channels, as well as accessing the prohibited menu exclusively for developers.

In addition, it also has a series of screensavers that are activated automatically if the television has not performed an action for several minutes.

These default images are a way to give a personal touch to the interface, but the designs and shapes suggested by the system itself can be a bit boring.  

Luckily, Amazon offers the possibility for you to use your own photos as a screensaver . This is a great and interesting way to display your most important or fun memories when the TV is not in use.
