can the smartcast home ad carousel be removed?

The top banner of the home screen is always in a constant loop of movies not super suited for families with small kids. Just this past week ours has had half naked women and clips of the new scream movie, getting tired of my kid asking about it and having nightmares because of spooky things he's seen pictures of. The parental controls don't really seem to be the fix I'm looking for. If it's not able to be adjusted I'd really like to just take it off completely. Not sure why vizio wouldn't have a family friendly option, but it's super annoying. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the help!
