Overview of changes on the Home screen

Tab based navigation will be added to the Home screen, creating a new interface with a dedicated space for recommendations. The tab types are Home, Discover and Apps.

Home Tab

The Home screen basically remains the same with only the left hand icons removed for consistency across tabs. Press the HOME button on the remote control to open Home tab.

Discover Tab

Recommendation titles are organized by topic or theme based on watch history, interests, and new trends.

Apps Tab

The existing Apps view will change to a tab-based experience, helping you to find your apps more easily and show user installed apps. The Google Play Store is still used to access or download more apps. If your remote control has an APPS button, pressing the APPS button will open this Apps tab.
