How to disable the LiveTV app from being reinstalled?

This doesn't work, because you can still search for the 'Live TV' channel and access it that way.

Re: How to disable the LiveTV app from being reinstalled?

Hi, @hraj07 

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We appreciate your inquiry for support with disabling the Live TV on your Roku device, and we're here to provide you with steps that you can perform to make the Live TV not visible.

Follow the steps below.

  1. Press Home 
     
    on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select Home screen
  4. Select Shortcuts
  5. Scroll to Live TV
  6. Press OK 
     
    on your remote to hide (unchecked) or show (checked) the shortcut

Note: Once this has been performed, the Live TV will no longer be shown on the Home Screen but will still be available when you search it since it is a built-in app as part of the Roku platform.

We hope this helps, and let us know if you have further concerns or inquries.

Thanks,
Kash

This doesn't help at all because we can still access Live TV. I need to have it permanently disabled.

Thanks for keeping us posted, @hraj07 

As advised, the Roku Live TV Channel Guide cannot be removed or permanently deleted since it is a built-in app and part of the Roku streaming guide to access live TV channels offered by Roku and other platforms.

We hope for your understanding and appreciate your continued participation here in the Roku Community.

Thanks,
Kash
