Live TV Guide Favorites category New feature

I don't think we want to turn off the streaming channels, just the new menu above the guide.

    All of a sudden, when I go to the live TV guide, the top half of the screen is large icons of my favorites. This forces me to make extra clicks to get where I want. Can this new “feature” be disabled?

      I went to use my live tv channel guide and found a new irritating little treasure. 
      instead of actually Going to the channel guide, it pops up to a row of squares/tiles above with "On Now" tv show suggestions. The channel I'm currently watching is first and highlighted. In order to then Use my channel guide I now have to arrow back down. This just appeared. My software was last updated 2 months ago. This started a few days ago. I can't find a setting to turn it off. It's stupid to add extra steps. How do I get rid of this????

        Same here, and now I have to click Back twice to exit the channel guide too. Annoying, and I can't find it in settings either.

      and Roku....don't think we do not know what you are doing.

      It is clear Roku is creating a pretense that these new tiles at the top are for convenience.

      But we see through this - roku is putting many tiles of stations we do not care about and do not want to see, let alone have to click out of just to get to our real favorites, along the top after one or two favorites.

      We already had a category for favorites the Tv landed on immediately or we could find easily.

      Roku, you've already violated our privacy in the past - stop violating our enjoyment of the product we paid money for.

  • Roku people - please add a disable feature for this instead of having to remove all favorites from list. Very inconvenient when all we want is simplicity.

    This is something you might consider. My friends and most family members use this. Sorry roku . . . Not!
