How to Disable Recommendations on Google TV

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

Google TV streaming devices have a Home screen stuffed with recommendations. There are many ways you can fine-tune these, but if you prefer a less cluttered interface, you can also turn them off.

The Google TV Home screen on devices like the Chromecast with Google TV is very different from the company’s previous streaming media platform, Android TV. For one thing, you don’t have as much control over how the Home screen looks. If you enable “Apps Only Mode,” you can turn off most of the recommendations, but there are still a couple of catches.

First, Apps Only Mode also removes your access to the Watchlist feature and your Google Play Movies library. However, you can still cast from the Google TV mobile app. Second, the Search tab and Google Assistant functionality are disabled.

If you’re okay with all that, though, just select your profile icon at the top right of the Home screen to get started.
