    And if you have no plans to use it, go into your Roku account online and remove it. That will prevent someone from possibly using it and you end up with subscriptions and changes happening.

    You can now turn off those rows. In Settings/Home screen, there is a "Recommendation rows" option, which you can set to Hide. This replaced the previous "Continue Watching" option.

    It may take a day or 2 for this to roll out to everyone.

Thanks for the image. It's at the bottom of the grid, and I seldom scroll down that far. I just checked my Premiere and it's there as well. That is annoying that they can't be removed, but at least they are down where I will seldom see them.

    Remember you can also scroll up from the top. Putting apps at the "bottom" allowed some to be accessed as easily as those just below the home row. Now with the 2 new fixed rows, that is less convenient.

      andyross  Yes! If there's an app that I want to access frequently for a while but I don't want to reorganize the apps at the top of my list, I usually just move it to the bottom where I can get to it quickly by scrolling up.

      I may have to rethink that strategy now.
