Google TV rolling out the ability to hide movies, shows from ‘Continue watching’ row - 9to5Google

Android TV is set to receive even more features from Google TV in the near future, but the reverse is now also set to happen.

The Google TV “Continue watching” carousel will soon let you “Hide” content.

On the new Chromecast and presumably supported Sony televisions, Google TV is beginning to roll out a new “Hide” action for the Continue watching row that’s available by long-pressing on a card with the center button on your remote.

Android TV already has this feature — as a pop-up — but it wasn’t available on Google TV until now. As echoed by the Reddit user that spotted it today, this is useful for when the carousel doesn’t get rid of finished programs, as well as removing other content on shared screens
