Hide top picks on Live TV

"You can totally hide the top picks on your Roku home screen. Just head over to Settings > Home Screen > Recommendation Rows > Hide, "  that does not hide top picks!  We need a way to hide the top picks for you in the live tv guide. The tiles of top picks are annoying!

    Please note that the Top Picks For You on the Live TV menu screen cannot be hidden. No worries, we will take your input as feedback.

    There has to be a good balance of convenient functionality and Roku stakeholders being able to make their profit. Top picks for you started out showing some of my most frequently visited channels. Now it's all for-pay curated by Roku and designed to increase revenue while slowing down/annoying users. 

    Most people not on these forums probably won't be doing much tweaking, so why not give us (the cognoscente 😉) the option to remove the annoying roadblocks and have more customizability? I'd also like to be able to rearrange the channel list to the far left of the live tv guide. For example favorites on top. Remember, the Roku remote is crippled by design (missing important buttons/functions), requiring users to be resourceful to get around efficiently, so making things more customizable should be an honorable goal. 

    Overall though, it's a nice platform with a lot of value.

    Thanks for reaching out! rcharley​,

    Have you given your Roku a quick restart after hiding the top picks? If not, please go to  Settings > System > System restart. 

    Let us know if that works!

      OK, it does hide top picks on the home screen, but does not hide them on the Live TV screen.  I don't want the Top Picks For You on the Live TV menu screen.  How do I hide those?
