- Three lists, each with a unique star color. The colored star identifies the list everywhere — guide, Channels page, search results, movie and series pages.
- A channel can be on several lists at once — in the Channels page its row shows one star per list it belongs to.
- You edit ONE list at a time: “Change list (now: …)” under the Channels page's preview shows which. Opening a favorites bouquet also makes it the list you're editing.
- In the Channels page's channel column, OK and BLUE are both a plain on/off toggle for that current list — no cycling, and no playback (that's what the Watch button in the preview column is for).
- To put a channel on multiple lists: toggle it on, switch the current list, toggle it on again — or hold OK on the channel in the guide for a menu showing all three lists.
- Favorites numbering: your default list's channels are numbered 1…N in order. Type the number on the keypad to tune instantly. Numbers re-align automatically when you edit the list.
- “My Favorites” in the left menu shows everything on one page — series, movies and channels — for quick clean-up: OK marks items, “Remove & Exit” applies. Hold OK on an item instead to actually watch it — movies play (picking up where you left off), channels tune in, and series open their landing page.

Still stuck? Two things fix most one-off problems before anything else: the 60-second reset ladder , and a refresh of your provider’s lineup. Neither touches your favourites, settings or connections.
If it is an account, billing or activation problem — or the steps above genuinely did not help — get in touch with your Support ID from Settings → Account.
