Roku TV home screens can be cluttered, but you can easily organize them to make the most of your streaming experience.

First, you can customize your Roku TV home screen by rearranging the tiles to prioritize your favorite channels.

The Roku TV home screen is divided into two sections: the top row, which displays the most frequently used channels, and the bottom row, which displays the remaining channels.

By moving your frequently used channels to the top row, you can quickly access them without having to scroll through the entire list.

Managing Your Home Screen Layout

You can customize your Roku TV home screen to make it more user-friendly. To hide the "What's Streaming" row, head to Settings > Home Screen > Recommendation Row and select "Hide." This will get rid of those unsightly tiles that mostly just take up space.

Having a clutter-free home screen is a game-changer. By expanding the app grid to four columns, you can see more of your favorite channels and apps at a glance. To do this, go to Settings > Home Screen > Tile Size and select "Smaller."

The smaller icons may take some getting used to, but they're a vast improvement in usability. The four-column grid is especially helpful if you have a lot of channels and apps installed.

To start, select "My Feed" from your home screen, which will give you the option to choose from movies, TV shows, and movies coming soon.

You can also search for a specific movie or TV show and select "Follow this on Roku" to add it to your feed.

Selecting a movie or TV show from your feed will give you notifications on your home screen whenever it becomes available on a new service or gets a price drop.

Sound Settings

The sound settings on your Roku TV home screen can be a bit overwhelming, but don't worry, it's easy to customize them to your liking.

You can turn off the sounds completely by going to "Settings" in the left sidebar on the Roku home screen.

The default setting is to make a noise every time you move or select something, which can be a bit much.

To adjust the sound settings, select "Audio" from the Settings options.

You can choose from "High", "Medium", and "Low" if you don't want to turn off the sounds completely.

In this case, we're going to simply turn all sounds to "Off" for a more peaceful experience.
