Another new feature in this update is the shortcuts section (shown below). It includes shortcut tiles for popular actions. It is meant to make it easier to perform popular actions like adding channels, set a sleep timer, or powering off the TV. And Roku says more shortcuts will be added over time. But if you don’t need the shortcuts and would rather use the space for channels, you can hide the new section. Here’s how.
Hide Shortcuts Section on Roku Home Screen
To hide the new shortcuts section, launch your Roku and head to Settings > Home Screen.
Then scroll down and select the “Shortcuts” from the menu and check Hide. Note that you can also hide the Featured Free and Movie Store and TV Store sections from the home screen.
If you don’s see the new section, your TV or device isn’t running Roku OS 9.2 yet. To see which version you’re device running, head to Settings > System > About. Or, to manually check for the update, head to Settings > System > System Update > Check Now. If an update is available, keep in mind your device or TV will automatically restart to complete the process.
If you have many channels installed on your Roku, you might want to tidy things up. This allows you to do just that if you find no use for the new shortcuts section. If you find you might want it in the future, you can go back in and turn it on.
