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.

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

  • 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.

    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 agree! "This forces me to make extra clicks to get where I want"! I believe the techs who come up with these new features must be techs who don't actually use Roku.

      I agree it really sucks. Why can't we have choice to delete it?

        I solved it by deleting the roku live tv and using Plex and Pluto. I'll solve it further next time I buy a TV and go with something other than roku.

      To turn off the additional streaming channels on the Live TV grid: Go to Settings > TV Inputs > Live TV > Manage channels > check Hide streaming channels. It works

        I found that on my Roku TV but never saw it on my HiSense with Roku TV. Anyway it worked and I am really grateful for the advice.

        Edited in : Sadly that also got rid of my streaming channels list, so I had to turn it back on. Thanks for trying.
