User reviews

Please help me change this to a 5 star review. I accidentally added the wrong channel to my Content Filtration section and I cannot remove it. I've removed all of them and added back all but the one but nothing works, the list stays the same with the mistake in it. I have so many settings turned on so I don't want to remove the extension if possible but if it's the only way then I'll do it.
