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.

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.

      No offense but this new "Update" just made navigating with a remote that doesn't have numbers ever more archaic. I've tried everything to work around this and all I can say is I hate what they did to the menu guide. It just made it more work EVERY time you go to change channels. Bad idea. Please put it back the way it was. Thank you.

        I completely agree its absurd to add extra steps just to view the guide. Give me the option to get rid of these big boxes at the top or put it back the way it was! Overengineering!

        I'm guessing that after this amount of time, we are being ignored. Because of this annoying guide change, I bought a TIVO recently to try out at my shop. There are alternatives.

        Get rid of On Now feature. At least give us a way to deactivate it.
