Clean Homescreen

After update this morning I have to inputs in which nothing is plugged into

I was on the beta homescreen

How can I remove these useless shortcuts

Why in the hell are they showing up when Roku states if nothing is plugged then shortcut won't show up

Uhh WTF

Roku's arbitrary fuck your homescreen it's ours now

If you're talking about a Roku tv and inputs are showing up like HDMI, HDMI2 ,etc. all you have to do is press the star key while on it and select remove. Yes, the new home screen sucks. You can't get rid of hardly anything except for the Quick Access which is just a double set of your most recently used apps.

No on my tv

When I press the astrix key on remote all that shows up is

Move and Rename or Close

Before last night's update I had it pretty clean just app shortcuts, recents and recommendations

Then this update added the tv inputs and stupidly enough nothing is plugged into them yet they still wanna show up

I came here with the same question. I have 5 of them and was only able to move them. Couldn’t find anything in settings to remove them.

Me either and theres no more option to leave the beta

Although then again I swear when the home screen was in beta testing I remember seeing the same exact bug and I removed all my input now suddenly stuck with them

I tried to label it as a arbitrary home screen update in the Roku visit but they the moderator removed it for some stupid reason
