Hi ron1w,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Roku Community!

We appreciate your feedback about this and I hear you. Let's see if you can rid of it by navigating to Settings>>Home Screen>> Recommended rows and then select hide.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
Rey

    Not working, When i go to  Settings > Home Screen , appears What to Watch (hide) , Save List (hide) , and Shorcuts.

    This appear when i go to the option "Search" , then appears "Popular Free Movies"  ,  this make no sense , i can hide all the sexual content inside apps with profiles, but i cant hide erotic movies from appear directly in Roku

      ron1w,

      Thanks for the prompt response, and thanks for sharing additional details.

      In this case, then we'll get you covered with this: How to block content using parental controls.

      Although there isn't a universal parental control option on your Roku® streaming device to limit access to content on all streaming channels, you can establish access limits depending on ratings in specific scenarios, such as the ones listed below:

      • Set up rating-based playback restrictions within the Roku Channel.
      • Set up built-in parental control features on other popular streaming channels that offer these features.
      • Configure your Roku TVTM to restrict viewing of programs on "over-the-air" broadcast television.

      Let me know if this works for you.

      Thanks,

      Rey

        Thanks, so that there is not solution for that 😢  Parental controls prevent this content from playing, but do not prevent it from being displayed.

        As I said, they can't play those movies, but neither is the idea that these titles appear for children who wouldn't have to see these images.   

        Must be a good idea the possibilitie to hide that titles in the future.
