Re: [Underinvestigation] Update on Backdrops Channel Removal Issue
Ditto! I am doing a reset to see if that wipes it out, it should. I have disabled it in the app settings so it no longer activates when hitting the power button, but I hate looking at it on the home screen..

Re: [Underinvestigation] Update on Backdrops Channel Removal Issue
I DO NOT WANT Backdrops. I have selected "remove app" over 20x. Each time it reappears on my home screen. Please fix this issue. No customer should be forced to have apps or features they DO NOT WANT.

Re: [Underinvestigation] Update on Backdrops Channel Removal Issue
Please STOP automatically reinstalling this application as I did not want it nor do I want to use it.
Keeps reinstalling on my old roku device and on my TCL roku tv. I have deleted it multiple times on both devices.
Certainly your software developers can find a way to do that. (I am a long time software engineer.)
Thank you.

Re: How Do We Remove the Backdrops App from the Home Screen?
I have two different Roku TV's, so I doubt that it is related to specific models frankly. VERY annoying and takes up memory. a 40" TCL Roku, and a 49" TCL Roku. 49" model is 49S405, Hardware ID: 712X. Software is 13.1.4, build 1510-30

RokuJechealR :
The problem is in the programming the went into creating BACKDROP.
For one......the REMOVE command doesn't have a corresponding "action".
