Go into the Settings menu, and select Tv Inputs, then Live TV. You can edit the channel lineup within that menu.

    You can only hide or unhide the streaming live channels.  I cannot find any way to just remove one channel independently.  You either have all the live tv streaming channels or none. Of these like 10 or more channels are Spanish which I have no use for also there is things streaming on their I would not like my children to see.  How do I remove a few Live TV Streaming channels and not all of them???

      You can't. It's all or nothing for the IPTV channels. It's been suggested numerous times. But as mentioned previously, there might be something in the contract Roku has with the content provider that mandates them all being listed. Just a theory, with no data to back it up.

      D2020 , you can't hide just some streaming channels (recently added to Live TV). It's been speculated that these are Pluto channels, and that Pluto won't let carriers hide any. (There doesn't appear to be any way to hide channels in the Pluto app either. Basically they just added the Pluto app to the Live TV tile. You can remove it with the "hide all" in Live TV's settings.).

      How do you UNHIDE a channel that has been hidden by accident?
