Go to Settings/Theme/Sponsored Wallpaper and turn it OFF. You can do the same with Seasonal wallpapers.

Should add it may be under Settings/Wallpapers & Screensavers on some devices. Roku seems to be randomly testing that.

As suggested above turn off any themed and season wallpapers in the settings. If you do this you can set your wallpaper and it will never change on you unless you manually change it yourself.

Unfortunately that only changes the wallpaper, but doesn't get rid of the giant ad on the home page which is the most insidious aspect of this.

Normally, you can cursor over to it so it is highlighted, then hit the asterisk "*" key and choose hide ad. But, they have it disabled for this...

Indeed, obnoxious.

Here’s how I turned it off on my Roku:

A) Go to wallpapers and screensavers

B) Scroll way down to advanced settings, sponsored wallpapers.

C) Scroll way down to advanced settings, sponsored wallpapers.

D) Click on sponsored wallpapers and select “off“

I agree.  I don't want to look at Taylor Swift with her mouth hanging open.  It's gross.  I finally had to tape some paper over that side of the t.v.  so I don't have to look at her gaping her mouth open.
