Hate categories and browse

I don't think this is emphasized enough. Do not want it and have no need for it. Eventually a competitor will emerge that doesn't require this irritating noise. I'm thinking tizen.

They (finally) have the option to turn it off in settings. 
I was linked to a string of 40+ pages of comments about the same topic.

Re: Hate categories and browse

The setting they just added to remove this junk from the Home Screen is exactly what should have been added the second the new rows were forced onto our home screens. It should not have taken two months of complaints for Roku to finally add a setting to disable this!

Note to Roku: In the future, before adding any new "features" make sure they ALL come with a setting to disable them immediately as they are added! This way all of us that hate it can turn it off right away and we won't have to come here and waste our time complaining for weeks about it!

Use common sense Roku! Make your programmers design disable settings as a requirement for all new features 100% of the time!
