So Called "Recommendation Rows" Are Now Removable
Just as the title says. You can get rid of them now. W00T.
Just go into settings for the home screen and you can hide them along with all the other unnecessary and random **bleep** they put there.

THANK GOODNESS.!!!!
That feature is 100% annoying.
The right half of the screen used for ads and suggestions is enough.
The fact that they change the icon menu on a whim is enough for me to not get another ROKU in the future, especially with so many choices in TVs and HDMI streaming devices.
Yep, my recommendations row added something a week ago or so. I was able to turn that off. I also friggin hate when they change the look to some "theme" they're trying to push. A few weeks ago it was a Taylor Swift theme, ugh!
Will this work for "Categories" and "Browse"? These two sections recently appeared on my Roku TV. Bars that are above (or below, if you scroll through) from my actual section that has my CHANNELS.
Same about the Roku TV putting up a "Continue Watching". I don't want any of those sections and it annoys the C out of me that I get these w/o my consent.
UPDATE: That seemed to do the trick. I now have none of those 3 sections. And I like that it is just one entry to hide all the "Recommendation Rows".
QuiGonJohn danys1 l was curious about that myself. I kinda want them gone too. Maybe there’s some run of the mill streamers who will enjoy this new feature 🤷🏻♂️.
I successfully hid the Recommendation Row, and tested it by turning the TV on and off a couple times. No Recommendation Row appeared.
But the next day, I turned on the Roku TV and the Recommended Row was back, on the top of the screen. It re-enabled itself. This is insane. Once a button is toggled hide, it should remain hidden permanently.
Doubt I'll purchase another Roku TV after this.
