Re: Remove "On Now" section on home page

It appears that "On Now" has been removed - at least from the two devices where it was appearing in my home setups.  (An older Roku2 never displayed it)

Last night my wife attempted to use a button that I had programmed to navigate to Home, then to an app on the first row.  To get around the On Now feature I had added an extra down arrow to get there.  Last night, it failed because On Now was gone.  I will happily reprogram my devices to go back to the first row status.

I know that there have been several threads complaining about that feature, so I certainly can't claim credit for anything other than being part of the chorus.

Go to: Settings, Home Screen, Recommendation Rows, select Hide

That took care of it for me!

I'm about ready to dump my rokus I hate it when companies decide what I want for me.

Re: Remove "On Now" section on home page

It wasn't too long after I posted this that I discovered that it depends on your last app whether the On Now options appear.  If the do not upon selecting Home, a simple Up arrow makes them appear. 

I originally complained that this feature made my programming obsolete for my programmable remotes, but I have discovered that pressing Home twice will always force the On Now options to appear.  Then pressing Right followed by Down will place the cursor on the app I have selected for the upper-left corner.
