Remove "All Things Food" & Others

Jump to solution

When I turned on my TV this morning, a huge banner reading "ALL THINGS FOOD" had appeared between the "Home" and "Streaming Store" links on my Roku interface. There are also now three annoying, useless categories under my chosen streaming channels titled "ALL THINGS FOOD," "ALL THINGS HOME," and "SPORTS."

I don't need and don't want the moronic, drivel-filled content undoubtedly included in these categories. They're cluttering up my interface and wasting my time since I have to click past them to get to the items I want.

Roku, remove these asinine categories now, or provide a way for users to hide them.

I agree with the previous poster. We don't want your **bleep** on our home screens. At least give us the courtesy of being able to remove it.

Furthermore, they try to push options (on the left hand side of the screen) that I don't want. My home screen has "Home," "Search," "Settings" and "Streaming Store." If I want additonal options I will put them on myself.

So... I will make it plain in language that you (hopefully) understand:

Roku, stop pushing your **bleep** on us!!!! WE DON'T WANT IT!!!!!

Settings > Home Screen > All Things Food > Hide

 

You can switch from Show to Hide for any category under Home Screen.

No, gnonny11, not for these new items. It's not possible. Otherwise, I wouldn't have posted my comment. There's another thread devoted to this same issue with 36 pages at last count with other customers all ticked off that they can't remove or hide these stupid new categories.

Okay, sorry. My Roku Ultra has the Show or Hide option for All Things Food. That's really strange and sucks that it's not an option for all users.

I do have those categories in my menu, but I have to scroll down so far that I would rarely see them, so easy to ignore:

Thanks for taking the time to provide pictures; much appreciated. Turns out an option was added to remove the obnoxious All Things Food banner from the left side of the interface, on my TCL Roku TV, but there's still no way to remove the new categories from the bottom of screen. Since I don't have that many streaming channels on my home screen to begin with, these categories are obtrusive and I will continue to consider them an example of crass advertising on Roku's part.

Totally understandable. I agree. Yeah everyone should be able to have their home screen the way they prefer. Should be optional and not forced.
