Is it possible to hide "top movies" on Apple TV

I'd like to hide the "top movies", "top tv shows" and "top music" that appear on the home page of Apple TV. The "top" items appear as posters next to your purchases when you select the Movies, TV and Music options.

Some of the suggested shows have posters that are terrifying for young kids ... 'American Horror Story' and 'SOA' for example. Music suggestions aren't scary but if given a choice, I'd rather not a poster of Nikki Manaj's *ss pop up when navigating the menu.

I've tried turning on Restrictions, this doesn't change the posters displayed but rather requires a passcode to be entered if you select it to view. It would be nice to have an option in Restrictions that allows you to hide content above your selected rating.

Any ideas? Have searched these forums and web and come up blank.

This is a must have for Apple TV's especially when they are used in schools! Apple PLEASE give this option to hide the top icons "Movies, TV Show, Music and Radio!

Having these items show is an issue in schools!

The thing is it's not just Apple - Netflix have this issue, and the other day using an Amazon FireTv, looking at new content, right in the middle of some Barbie movies was a lady 'pleasuring' another scantily clad woman in the poster for a female prison sex romp movie - nearly fell off my sofa.

I wish I could remember what it's called 😝
