Turn off TV Inputs app consolidation

I recently noticed my Roku TV has one TV inputs button that has all of my connected devices consolidated in it. Is there a way to go back to having each one be it's own app? It's kind of inconvenient to have to click on the TV Inputs app, and then select which one I want. I'm not sure why they changed this, but clicking around I can't see an obvious way to revert it.

Yup, pretty stupid to have 20 icons on the home page, 10 of which are unused, and still have to click twice to get to a specific input

@foolmoron If you can icons on the home page that you do not use they are easily removed.  Put the cursor on the icon, press the asterick key, and select remove.

Sure but then I'll have a mostly empty home page and I still have to click twice to change TV input

This "feature" as been universally and soundly panned by users here in these forums, and Reddit as well.  I can't recall one post in favor of it.  I fully expect to see this rectified in a new release, sooner rather than later.

I agree.  They need to either remove the "TV Inputs" folder or make it optional.  It is extremely inconvenient for those of us that switch between TV Inputs often.

Indeed, it seems rather impractical to clutter the home page with 20 icons, especially when half of them go unused. It's frustrating to find that you still have to go through two clicks just to access a specific input.
