Thank you! Selecting the "Recommendation rows" option turns off the new, unwanted categories. This option wasn't available just a few days ago. I now have my Roku interface back to my preferred look and functionality.
While navigating my Roku interface this morning, I encountered an unwelcome addition of "ALL THINGS FOOD," "ALL THINGS HOME," and "SPORTS" categories, disrupting my streamlined experience. Just like unwanted clutter on a menu, these categories are an annoyance, requiring additional clicks to access what I actually want. Roku, much like a well-curated menu, should allow users to customize and hide these intrusive categories. It's akin to wanting only the delectable Liho Singapore menu items and not having to sift through irrelevant choices. Streamlining interfaces ensures a user experience as satisfying as choosing the perfect dish.
I have an All Things Home banner presented by T-Mobile that covers the top 3 apps so they can barely be red.
I can hide the category in settings and it remove ATH from menu on the left, but not the obnoxious banner over the selections I want to make.
only on my Roku Ultra. Not on Roku 4K or older Roku stick
So... you don't have option to [] Hide Recommendation rows in Settings > Home Screen?
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
I've just set everything to Hide. lol (Except I do have the TV Off shortcut.)
I have those options. Maybe my post was confusing, I turn off “All things home” and it removes it from the menu on the left, but a banner goes across the top 1/3 of the screen advertising this for T-Mobile and it covers the apps on Home Screen, top row of movies on movies screen, etc.
I did a factory reset and it is no longer there. I hope it doesn’t come back.
That does sound unnecessarily annoying. Glad to hear factory reset resolved it, but Roku shouldn't make things that difficult. I too hope it doesn't come back for you.
To Roku: Stop being weird!!
@Mwheeler, try a "System restart" from Settings->System->Power.
