I have an Onn Roku TV and the Recents & Favorites should be something that's an "Optional Feature" and not "Forced Feature".
The 2 together are actually redundant as well since those who typically use a Favorites Feature are typically something that will be reflected in a Frequents Feature too.
These features may have been provided under good intentions, but should never have been pushed in a Permanent/Forced Feature either.
I hope Roku makes the appropriate changes as soon as they can as well as keeping this in mind for any future Features they decide to add.
Thanks for the understanding. :-))
