The movie magic screensaver has morphed into an ad for SpiderWick

Hi. I use a regular Roku player.

Normally, I use the default City Stroll Movie Magic screensaver.

In the settings i have Seasonal and Sponsored wallpapers set to "off". 

But recently, the City scroll movie magic screensaver has changed into a big ad for SpiderWick.

I prefer the regular Movie Magic screensaver. I tried to restore default theme etc, but it seems the base movie magic screensaver has been altered. Is it going to stay like that for a long time?

 

  • Actually it has changed back to normal now.. Thanks!

      Several weeks ago, my Roku device reverted to the original Roku 3x3 app grid size. Roku made the choice to remove the 3x3 or 4x4 (preferred 4x4) app grid size choice option from my device. Now Roku has made the choice to add the Spiderwick Chronicles Show/Hide choice option to my device Menu Items page and no way to remove this item from my device. How can this be considered a Roku Menu Item? Spiderwick Chronicles is a Roku Original series program. It is obvious to me that Roku can modify and/or change (good and/or bad) the Roku devices if and when they choose to do so!

        Roku occasionally pushes out new items or changes to the base UI, and the default is always set to "show". But I had no problem changing it to "hide". What model Roku device do you have? The setting to hide that particular menu item is under Settings/Home Screen.
