Features, settings & updates

The first channel on the left on the top row of the "home" page of the sling app on the Roku is FOX News, which I've never watched and have no intention of ever watching. Is there a way to either remove a channel box from that top row, or move it over to the right? I tried the * (options) button, nothing there. Tried long pressing the "select" button, which doesn't seem to be a thing on the Roku *smile*.

Any clues for the clueless? Will this channel just go away if we never watch it, or will it stick there forever? I'm hoping that as we use the sling app, the channels in that top row will be the ones that we actually watch. But I'd really like to do something about it now, that leftmost spot is a useful position, first channel that you see on the sling app "home" page.

Thanks!

Well, it would have been nice if you had actually read my posting. I'm not talking about the main Roku page with the channel/app icons, I'm talking about inside the Sling app. The Sling app has a "home" screen that has program thumbnails on the top row, a quick way to get to a particular show or particular SLING channel.

My problem is that the leftmost thumbnail in the SLING APP home page is FOX News, which I'd like to remove or get out of sight somehow. I'm asking how to do that, not how to move Roku channel/app icons in the Roku home page.
