@Wanderglobe , lucky you!

Unfortunately, not for me: could you please share your software version here? (In Settings, System, System Update)

Did your Pi-Hole recently updated too, maybe?

I agree that "Categories and Browse" are a minor inconvenience NOW.  The fact remains that until this minor inconvenience showed up, we had total control over what is presented in the center section of our screen be it six or sixty icons.  

Each icon in these two sections has at least ten and up to forty options within.  What happens when ROKU decie we should have more of these sections and intersperse them with the ones we've specifically chosen to display.  

The home screen already has a solution built in that is already partially implemented...            Home>Settings>Home Screen permits you to Show or Hide specific categories.  Sports and Live TV are among these already.  Once turned on, they are easier to access by simply scrolling down.

While I have no intention of leaving ROKU right away, this has dampened my enthusiasm for the brand.

Even see more ad's now on the Roku Channel ( my kids watching stuff ) - and do not remember them much before ?    Maybe am paying more attention now because of this ?  Dropping Cable ( cutting the cord ) was a good option years back - Not Much Now - Am paying just as much for other Services/Options as well as seeing more Ad(vertisements) everywhere !

I have Roku, FireTV, and Google TV. Believe me, if you hate the changes to the Roku screen, you will be horrified at a FireTV or Google home screen.

I agree.  Roku management, please add an option to remove this clutter from the home screen.
