Features, settings & updates

[MikeK3]

Why must Roku find it necessary to clog up the home screen with tons of "recommendations" that I have to CONSTANTLY hide?  Please stop doing this.  I long for the early days of Roku when it was just the channel tiles I wanted to see.  Instead, we now have the following we have to turn on  or off:

Shortcuts (turned off - umm - stupid ... TV off?  Ad Apps?  No purpose for either)

Recommendation Rows (turned off - so now an AI is going to tell me what to watch?)

Sports (turned off - just add a sports channel if you want sports)

Live TV (turned off - just add Amazon, Hulu or YouTube and subscribe to live TV and get better experience)

The Emmy's Collection (turned off - these "seasonal" home screen suggestions are REALLY annoying)

Feature Free (turned off - who cares if free or pay - I will find the cheapest way to pay and then pay if I want to watch it)

Daily Trivia (turned off - totally stupid - if I want to play trivia I will play trivia ... if I want to watch Roku I will watch Roku - dumb)

What to Watch (turned off - I already know what I want to watch ... I don't need an AI giving me suggestions)

My Offers (turned off - just another way for Roku to make money)

I'm with you. Stop adding garbage to my screen.

And while I'm adding. I really really hate and despise your animated banner ads.

[MikeK3]

Yes.  Agreed.  I forgot the banner ads.  What is up with that?  If I purchase a device, why must I put up with ads? 

[Phaize31]

Same here I'd rather pay more for the device if it meant they would stop adding dumbass stuff NO ONE uses period

[Ed1965]

Today they are trying to shove Charlie Puth down everybody's throat. They added a link to my home screen (which I deleted) and they are shoving animated ads as well.

How did you delete it?

[renojim]

@DezM, it's under Settings->Home Screen.

[MikeK3]

You can go to Settings > Home Screen and "toggle" many things on an off ... but I have never found a way to "delete" anything.
