Did you know that your Netflix homepage looks nothing like someone else's? That's because Netflix tailors the content it shows you based on a recommendation algorithm. To oversimplify it, if you watch countless comedies, Netflix will keenly recommend you its latest stand-up special.

Part of the way Netflix feeds this algorithm is through the ratings you provide. That thumb up or down is key in determining what Netflix advertises to you in the future. But what if you rate something wrong accidentally? Or you want to view your past ratings?

You can give feedback on the shows and movies you watch on Netflix through a thumbs up and thumbs down rating system. Whatever device you use, be it desktop, mobile, or smart TV, you can set a rating.

Netflix gives you ample opportunity to provide this rating. The most obvious location is when viewing the show/movie's full information. It can also appear when you pause something mid-viewing, or once the credits roll.

The algorithm calculates from more than just your ratings, however. It also accounts for your viewing history, the time of day you watch, the devices you use, and how long you watch. It then compares this against other members with similar tastes and title metadata like genre, actors, release year, and so on.

Essentially, every interaction you take on Netflix designs your homepage. The algorithm not only chooses movies and shows to present to you generally, but also the order of the category rows and the order of the content within them.

This page is only accessible through the Netflix website (and isn't on the smart TV app, for example). While technically you can access it through the Netflix mobile app, it just opens in your web browser.

Here you will see all your ratings, with the most recent at the top. To adjust your rating, click the thumbs up or thumbs down as applicable. You can also remove your rating; to do this, click the X on the right.

Nowadays, Netflix only lets you rate things good or bad. However, many years ago, you could rate on a five-point scale. If you were a Netflix subscriber when this was possible, you'll see these star ratings listed. Just take note that you can't change them, nor can you reinstate them if you delete them.

Don't forget that there are plenty of ways to discover interesting Netflix shows and movies, like browsing trailers on Netflix's YouTube channel or checking scores on critic sites like Rotten Tomatoes.

I'm unable to clear a Netflix show from the Continue Watching line on my Roku Ultra home screen. I've tried to use the asterisk button on the remote, but when I click on the "remove" option it doesn't do anything. I've tried a system reset, I've gone into Netflix and removed it from the Continue Watching section there. Nothing I've tried has fixed this. It appears on two TV's, both Roku Ultra's. Even the option to turn this line off would be useful. Any help would be appreciated.

A big Search box AND a Continue Watching line showed up when I decided to change my screen saver. I don't want either of these "features." And like you, the asterisk/options to remove shows from the list doesn't work. If I want to continue watching something, I'll open that app. I don't want/need Roku to "think" for me. I'm using two Roku sticks. If I'd realized what caused the problem on the one, I wouldn't have changed the other.

If you are not inside the Roku Channel, there may be a different way with different channels. Please be advised that some publishers control what constitutes content completion (for example, end credits are shown). The arrangement has been completed; the channel makes a delete request to remove the content from the Continue Watching row.

I'm referring to the base home screen that you're taken to to select apps or channels from. It's not within any app or channel. The shows that appear in the list are based on other apps (Disney, Netflix, etc) and can't be removed via the asterisk remove function.

Simply having the option to turn this function off would be ideal. I don't need or want the function, it's just another place that I have to pay attention to in order to keep the kids from getting at more mature content that they shouldn't be.

The Home Screen on both of my Roku Sticks now has a large Search Box AND a Continue Watching list - and I don't want either of them. All I did was change my screensaver, and voila, two new "features" on the Home Screen that I don't have control over.

The "Continue Watching" feature on the Roku home screen is part of the Roku Operating System; thus, removing it is impossible. Please be advised that some publishers control what constitutes content completion (for example, end credits are shown). Once the arrangement has been completed, the channel makes a delete request to remove the content from the Continue Watching row.
