Thanks for the clear and detailed answer. However, I'm talking about the add-ons that appear and unwanted tiles on your home screen and you have to go in and tell it to HIDE to get it off your screen. I don't want those ever. It should be an opt in if you want Rokus help to find something to watch.

    I figured as much, just wanted to be sure there wasn't something I would was missing. Add me to the list of those who would prefer to opt in for added items I didn't ask for.

    Happy Holidays!
