Milky way is a screensaver that displays a slideshow of photos of celestial objects while your Roku is idle. Several examples are shown in the screenshots below.
This screensaver has the option of displaying the current time, and you can change the delay between slides in increments from 5 to 30 seconds. A weather widget is also available for $0.99/month or $7.99 per year, each with a 2-day trial. A lifetime purchase is available for $9.99.
In addition to acting as a screensaver, this channel can be manually launched from your Roku's home screen anytime you wish to view it.
To set this screensaver to activate when your Roku is idle, install the screensaver then go to Settings from your Roku's home screen and select Theme >> Screensavers >> select the screensaver >> Set as screensaver.
