@SmilingBob Thanks for the tip... still no luck but that's okay, good trick though 🙂
What's for sure, as soon as a new software update allows me to remove these useless rows (and hopefully the useless item "Streaming Store" from the left list), I'll also block any future software update. Roku really shot their own foot this time. (I wish someone would find a way to root my TV...)
@yann-gael Np, too bad it didn't work for you but I think those images will go away eventually. And I used to block all updates, automatic and otherwise, but I found that doing this would sometimes cause apps to not update properly and then break. I got lazy and have gotten into the habit of just lowering my shields every couple months to update (auto update blocked) and I got burned. I guess I will also go back to updating ONLY when absolutely necessary, and just letting these little streamers ride with what they've got.
So why again did I just buy 3 Roku devices?
Went with this platform over Chromecast and FireTV to escape this kind of intrusive garbage!
Silverlining is I was going to get Roku for my parents and push my siblings to get it as well. No more. Not sure what else I can go with at this point for them but it wont be Roku. May as well then go with AppleTV or even Chromcast 😞
If the knuckleheads at Roku were to at least add the option to hide this garbage I may be inclined to stick with it. What a clusterf**k.

I think clusterf**k is their middle name. ...and all we have to vent is this thread since customer service has been essentially nonexistent for years.
....another beef I have with this company!
Dear @RokuCarly ,
Thank you for your message, it's really appreciated.
Would you be able (in the coming days/weeks) to give us some ideas of the actions that will be taken and of the time frame for their release?
Best,
Yann
I have cancelled all services subscribe to through ROKU. They will not make another dollar from me. If I want to keep the service I just subscribe directly. **** You Roku!!!!
I don’t think it’s as much a concern as it is an intrusion. All I have to say is, “Don’t mess with my Home Screen in any way, shape or form.” I liked it the way it was.
i agree…adding these add ons is annoying..i like a less cluttered home screen..when they added these there shouldnof been a hide oprion just like the others do..please update and add this option…less is more roku
