You may have noticed your Tivo box software has upgraded and the onscreen menu style has changed (it’s now a more subtle purple instead of bright red).
Along with this change is a feature adding a column to the left of your recorded items list.

The new “categories” view
If you don’t want this you can hide the left column making it look like it used to.
