I never use any of these (other than Netflix) and it would be way better If I could set it to something I do use

Was extremely surprised and happy to see this on Roku City, but I can’t quite figure them all out!

Why?

I know people like her, but the advertising is EVERYWHERE! Now my Roku theme has been changed to match the advertising of the Taylor Swift tour… 🤢 Roku, please make it stop! 🛑

I don't know if actual Roku designers will ever see this, but I implore you to undo your new update. Adding more stuff to the home screen does not IMPROVE the experience! Your clean interface and lack of blasting me with adds is specifically why I chose you over an Amazon TV. A TV should be a TV, not an ad platform to shove movie rentals and streaming services in your face. Get out of here with that nonsense.

Compare your original interface with the new one, and then take a look at Amazon TV, or game interfaces like Marval Rivals, Call of Duty Home, Battlefield 6, or Fortnite. They're all atrocious and frankensteins of digital design. This new interface may be more subtle, but it could definitely set you down the same path as these other terrible design choices.

Edit: Wow this kinda blew up more than I expected...so let me voice one other thing. Roku, instead of redesigning your home screen that nobody (probably) asked for, how about you add a function so that USB devices can optionally be read from automatically instead of having to wait for the prompt to come up EVERY time, which may or may not even work properly?

It removed my accounts and when I try and log back in it keeps saying “something went wrong”

This same ad has come up every time I visit my home screen for like a week. WHY?!?!?! like roku, I don't want to see a plus sized elf. This literally looks insanely inappropriate.

The new update seems to force the live TV input and took away the option to remove it. I don't want any of this "For you" stuff and I certainly don't care about sports enough to see it on both the apps display AND the side bar. Like why can't they just let me remove these stupid features? I will never watch sports.

Congrats, your TV that you paid for just got worse.

Almost got all three tributes in one shot as well

What are these letters/numbers?? They flag across the rock. I saw somewhere that someone said it was a glitch but this doesn’t seem very glitchy to me.

Looks like Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue to me

4/5ths of the home screen is now ads. This is GARBAGE. Let me change it back or im throwing out this tv.

Multi usb hub, Works perfectly, you can even add power if you're using an HDD.

Roku, please remove the RT Russian government propaganda channel now.

I see what they're doing here 😆

So 9 months ago I had a woman house sit for me for a few days. I gave her my wifi password so she could work from my house during that time.

At random intervals since then (sometimes months go by without it happening, sometimes it happens two days in a row) I will be watching YouTube via my Roku (plugged into a non-smart TV) and the video will suddenly switch to something else, and I'll get a pop up that tells me "[house sitter's name]'s iPhone connected."

When it first happened, I reset my wifi password. When it happened again, I went into the app that manages my router and cleared any devices that I didn't recognize as my own. When it happened a third time, I went into Roku advanced system settings and selected "Disable" on Control by mobile apps. The fourth time it happened, I went into my YouTube account looking for a way to disable guest access, thinking it might be a YouTube thing rather than a Roku thing, but I didn't find any option to do that. The fifth time it happened (just a few minutes ago), I went into Roku advanced settings and selected Disable Device Connect.

Is there anything else I can do?? How do I get this lady off my TV permanently?!
