How to get a pretty picture on screen when not watching sky glass tv

Can I just get a pretty picture instead of a blank screen when not watching sky glass tv? My tv is in wall so I'd like something other than black screen

True only way I can get a pretty screensaver is from my firestick with the ambient background turned on 

 

I know there are a few downloadable apps on the firestick that can show a log fire or snowy landscape on the screen

@nanny+Del  No, there isn't an option on Glass TV's to do this.  You need a proper smart TV.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

My daughter has a much cheaper smart tv and my previous smart tv was much cheaper than Sky Glass tv and we could do this 🙁

Also YouTube seems to have had an update that now includes an ambient screen saver if left for a few minutes  ....

I can't find them anymore. I had a crackling fire at Christmas, so where have they gone?

There isn't any built in .... easiest way is to go into the YouTube app and wait for the YouTube ambient screensaver to kick in. You can force the screensaver by pressing back once which takes you to the exit screen. From there you can select ambient screensaver
