Live TV Channel Guide: View Current Shows When Browsing Channels
Completely agree with the OP. This new upper pane of entirely undesired and incredibly annoying show recommendations that appears on opening the channel guide (left button press) takes up _two_thirds_of_the_screen_, requires a minimum of two extra button presses to fully access & exit (?!!) the channel guide, and fundamentally _isn't_even_a_channel_guide... it's a worthless space waste of recommendations for which there's already a separate category for π (and of which I never use anyway).
It breaks existing, relatively fluid functionality (of my televion set, that I bought and paid for with my dollars) in order to shove some un-wanted, likely AI-chosen (cr@p) programming down my/our throats. **That is not at all why one opens the channel guide in the first place.** Cannot devs/management SEE how dis-functional & regressive this change is? Do you even QA these changes, actually using the devices and trying these things out for yourselves?? Apparently not, as the flaws would be obvious if you did.
An awful change... π

Re: Favorites above TV Guide - new feature
Please give me instructions on turning off (or getting rid of) the change you made to my TV that puts favorite icons above the Live TV listings. It is NOT an improvement and has made my Roku experience less satisfying and less pleasant.
This feature change does not improve anything. It is extremely annoying and to get where I'm trying to go I have to click more. FYI: More clicks to do the same thing is WORSE not better. This change is bad. If you insist on leaving this 'very bad idea' in place, please give us users more control over the TV's we paid for and let us turn this OFF. I do not enjoy these constant 'problems' called updates that Roku introduces to my devices and TVs. Please do more thinking and customer feedback research before doing this kind of stuff or you won't have any customers left to screw with. And while you're at it, QUIT changing my backgrounds and themes!!!

Re: Live TV Channel Guide issue on Roku
I dug deep and found where you can sort by number. My issue solved.

Re: Favorites above TV Guide - new feature
- "We totally understand that having the favorites above the TV guide is inconvenient for you."
You're joking right?
If that's the honest answer and you realized that making this change would be scrupulous and no help, then why did you add it so that it would make it harder to use the channel guide in the first place?
Please change it back to the way the guide worked before when you didn't have to click through unsightly tiles.
There are 2 other places I can access favorites if I want to see them.

Re: Favorites above TV Guide - new feature
Well, suck a bag of *****. I just went online and purchased a Google TV. I've been using Roku for over a decade and you finally ran me off.

Re: Favorites above TV Guide - new feature
You don't appreciate anything.
Literally UI/UX design 101 is to minimize clicks and clutter. Fire whoever implemented this change without an option for people to disable it.

Re: Favorites above TV Guide - new feature
Is it possible to remove this feature? Every time I go back to the live guide it defaults to the top options, it is highly annoying and Iβm thinking now about selling my TV.
