Fast Forwarding Dims Screen and Shows "Trending" Box—How to Disable?

SJohner — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 12:27:55 GMT

I find the fast forwarding function terrible. It dims the picture so significantly I can barely see where I am. It also obscures a good portion of the frame with its Trending feature. I don't have any interest in what's trending - I'm already watching the show I want to watch! This is an exceedingly annoying and useless feature! Is there any way I can make the Trending items disappear, and make the picture display in full brightness?

Good Day & Welcome.

Open up the Fibe TV app. On the top of the Home screen you will see a Filter Icon & select it. You will now view all of the content on the home screen that you can choose to display. Remove the check mark to remove from your home screen. E.g. Language, Continue enjoying, Trending Live, etc. Close the Filter screen.

To clear your viewing history only in the Continue enjoying category, you need to select the Settings Gear Icon on the top right corner of the App & then select Viewing History > Clear History.

To remove the "Trending Live section from your Bell Fibe TV app home screen, you can use the built-in display filters.

Open the Fibe TV app on your device.
Navigate to the Home screen.
Look for the Filter icon located at the top of the screen.
Select it to open a list of content categories that appear on your home screen (such as Trending, Continue Enjoying, or Latest Recordings).
Uncheck the box next to Trending Live (or any other categories you wish to hide).
Close or exit the filter screen to save your changes.

Take care.

I would also like to remove the "Trending" icons at the bottom of the screen during skipping. I'm using both the Fibe-TV app on Apple TV 4K, and the VIP7802. On neither of those two do I see a Filter Icon on the home screen. I also went through all the menus in the Settings screens.

What am I missing?

As @Technut has also replied, I do not see a filter option at the top of my Home page, when watching content on my television. It appears on the Fibe App on my phone and tablet, but not in the native application when watching on my television. I also went through all the individual settings I could find (including under Playback), but found nothing akin to what is available to be deselected on the app version. Please help!

Hey everyone!

Thanks for posting in the Bell community and for sharing your feedback 🙂

Just wanted to jump in here and clarify that the option to remove the Trending Live section is currently only available in the mobile version of the Fibe TV app (smartphones and tablets). This setting isn't available on TV-connected devices at this time.

Have a great day,

@BellPatricia
