The utterly asinine "feature" to have Roku rearrange your home tiles to promote what THEY want you to watch won't go away. I keep going to settings to set it to Manual, it keeps resetting it to Automatic. Anyone else having this? Is there a permanent fix, or is it time to switch to another streaming device..
My Roku gave me a message that they had already rearranged mine. I had them arranged the way I wanted. Now I have to waste time putting them back. Dik move Roku.
couldn't agree more. What **bleep** at Roku thought this would be well received?
Is this on a Roku TV, or a Roku device connected to a TV?
I don't think I've seen a control for any such option. Where do you find it?
The closest I can think of is on a Roku TV, to restore channel numbers:
While in your Live TV guide:
► Click the column with the channel logos
► Press the * (Options) button on your Roku remote
► Click on "Sort channel list"
► Click on "By Channel Number"
Hisense 65R6+ TV.. GoTo => Home Screen : App Order: Automatic/Manual {check mark}
Also, same thing on my Roku Ultra.
Three times now on the Ultra, Twice on the Hisense
Unfortunately, you have been selected to participate in another one of Roku's unasked for "test features".
From what I have previously read, allowing Roku to automatically decide channel/app tile placement is to assure that your most used channels/apps will always be at or near the top of the screen.
I think most people prefer to arrange their tiles according to the own preference.
Since most of these test features are a "work in progress", it will probably just keep overriding your preference when set to manual and you will likely just have to deal with it until their testing phase is over (or at least addressed by Roku during the course of this testing).
I do feel sorry for you. Roku should not be using their customers as beta testers without their acknowledgement/consent.
