Features, settings & updates

I don't think we want to turn off the streaming channels, just the new menu above the guide.

All of a sudden, when I go to the live TV guide, the top half of the screen is large icons of my favorites. This forces me to make extra clicks to get where I want. Can this new “feature” be disabled?

I am with you, Barnabas, I hate it!!  I am soooo tired of Roku changing my settings!!!!!!!!!!

[Barnabas]

Since when is adding more clicks to do the same task an improvement?

[Barnabas]

And Roku gets to decide which answer is the solution to my question??? And of course they decide to make their confusing non-answer the official solution. I just found a way to choose their Solution to be NOT a solution. Can Roku make this any more frustrating?

I went to use my live tv channel guide and found a new irritating little treasure. 
instead of actually Going to the channel guide, it pops up to a row of squares/tiles above with "On Now" tv show suggestions. The channel I'm currently watching is first and highlighted. In order to then Use my channel guide I now have to arrow back down. This just appeared. My software was last updated 2 months ago. This started a few days ago. I can't find a setting to turn it off. It's stupid to add extra steps. How do I get rid of this????

Same here, and now I have to click Back twice to exit the channel guide too. Annoying, and I can't find it in settings either.

No offense but this new "Update" just made navigating with a remote that doesn't have numbers ever more archaic. I've tried everything to work around this and all I can say is I hate what they did to the menu guide. It just made it more work EVERY time you go to change channels. Bad idea. Please put it back the way it was. Thank you.
