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????

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 am with you, Barnabas, I hate it!! I am soooo tired of Roku changing my settings!!!

Since when is adding more clicks to do the same task an improvement?

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.

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.

  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.
