Is the menu bar at the left side of the live guide hideable?

I am doing a trial of DTV Stream now. And I have a menu bar at the left of the live guide. It is very annoying. Can I hide it? It takes up too much space that make the live guide less visible. I cannot see the small guide to the right of that menu bar on my 55" TV not to mention my 32" in my bedroom. Also, I wish I could get rid of the LOGOS and display CHANNEL NAMES in the live guide. I don't want to memorize a bunch of logos. And perhaps have a way to change font size to a little larger and more readable. 

I will likely not be a full subscriber if these are something I can't do now or have a planned fixed happening very soon.

There is no way to remove anything off that screen. I actually find it very helpful as everything available in the app can be accessed from that screen.  It takes a little time to get used to but works well after getting familiar to it.

What streaming device are you using? The app has very limited customization available. As far as I am aware, the menu on the side is not hidable. Basically, outside displaying channels by channel number or alphabetical and using a favorite to replace the guide content is the limit of the changes. Perhaps you need to pursue other options if the app does not suit your needs.
