Features, settings & updates

My Home Screen went from 3 across to 4 across back to 3 then back to 4 and now back to 3 again! Ffs Roku, figure your **bleep** out!

You can't. Roku "updated" it to that screen on purpose.

[CeeKay]

Personally, I'm OK with either the three or the four button display, but please stop switching it back-and-forth. I have my channels arranged a certain way that I like, so please stop messing around! 

did you hire a new UI designer that has no experience, or something?

[zan-monk]

Agreed, this is what annoys me the most. They've now sent an update to let you manage the "size" of the tiles so that you can get 3 across again, but they still haven't fixed the hdmi input sub-menu stupidity.

@zan-monk where are you seeing any setting to change the screen grid between 3x3 and 4x4? I just checked my Premiere and nothing there. I checked my Ultra last night and nothing found.

Wow, that’s a lot of wasted white space. Not great design. 

[JosephP]

Oh, great.

I just noticed that my 4 column home screen is now back to 3 columns. So I came here looking for how to get my 4 columns back, and all I found was 24 pages of complaints about the 4 and wanting to know how to get it back to 3. Well, it's back to 3 now and I want my 4 back.

I don't know what Roku is doing with the 4 column rollout. I've never had it on any of my devices, even though I would like to have it, at least on the larger TV displays. So far I've heard of no one ever getting a menu option to switch between the two sizes.

Re: How to change Roku home screen app display from 4 columns back to 3

I checked again out of curiosity, and I now have an option to toggle between tiles sizes. I found it under Settings > Home Screen. There are two new options, one for "Continue Watching" to show/hide, and one for "Tile Size" with options for Smaller/Larger.

I am currently using the software version: 12.5.0 build 4176 on a 55" TCL Roku TV.

I received no notification that there was a new option, so it might be worthwhile to check on your own device. Good luck!

I didn't do anything to make my home screen 4 columns, it just happened. When it happened and I couldn't explain it, I checked for a software update and it was like the day before so I accepted it that it was part of the software update. Now I see that I was right about that.

I just noticed that it was 3 instead of 4, and I might not have noticed that if I hadn't first noticed that the continue watching was gone from the top of the home screen icons.

I got the continue watching back through noodling around with the new choices.

Not that I'm going to do anything stupid and get mad and quit Roku - it's just what I was looking for. I was looking for something that would play AppleTV+ without hiccups and Roku fit the bill.
