just upgraded from humax freesat to the new box with freetime.
On the old box when i paused live tv it would go to screen saver, this box dont do that is there a setting to change ? thanks in advance

Nope, afraid not.

The screensaver is sadly missed on the new boxes.

Only an issue if you have a plasma display.

Yes, which I do.

I doubt it would have taken too much effort to include one; they seem to manage it ok on other boxes.

The spec and UI is down to Freesat, presumably they didn't require the option. If you could persuade Freesat to specify a screen saver, as you say I doubt it would be a problem for Humax.
