remote
or on your

(1) Recommendations
On the top row of the Home screen, you'll see the recommendations for movies, TV shows,
apps, and games. Recommendations are posted by the apps on your SHIELD. They're updated
based on the recommendations you've selected in the past.
If you're signed in to these apps on your phone or computer, what you view on these other
devices may affect the recommendations on your Android TV if you're using the same
account. This includes Google Play apps. You won't be able to manually charge the order of
the content.
You can remove recommendations from a specific app by going to Settings > Preferences >
Home screen > Recommendations row.
NOTE The recommendations row also shows any software updates available for your
SHIELD or accessories.
(2) Apps
Apps can be manually ordered by holding Select on the app in focus and moving to the desired
location. You can enable automatic sorting based on usage by enabling Settings > Home screen
> Apps and games row > Sort automatically by recent usage.
