Add a channel to Favorites

Works in both TiviMate Original (paid) and TiviMate X+ V5.

1. Open TiviMate and go to your channel list.

2. Highlight the channel you want.

3. Long-press / hold OK (Select) on your remote

   • If your remote doesn’t support long-press, press the Menu (⋮) button instead.

4. Choose Add to favorites (or tap the ⭐ icon).

Tip: While watching a channel, you can usually long-press OK to open the info menu and tap the ⭐ there too.

Where to find your Favorites

1. Press Left to open the sidebar (or press Menu).

2. Choose Favorites (it appears as its own group).

3. All starred channels will show here.

Remove a Favorite

1. Go to Favorites (or the channel’s regular group).

2. Highlight the channel → long-press / hold OK → select Remove from favorites.

Reorder Favorites (optional)

1. Open Favorites group.

2. Press Menu (⋮) or long-press OK → choose Manage / Reorder (wording can vary by version).

3. Use the D-pad to move channels Up/Down.

4. Save/Done.

If you don’t see a reorder option, try: Settings → Channels / Groups → Manage favorites (feature names can differ slightly between Original and X+ V5).

Create your own groups (optional)

If you prefer categories (e.g., “Sports”, “Kids”):

1. Menu (⋮) → Manage groups (or Settings → Groups).

2. Create a New group and add channels to it.

3. Groups show in the left sidebar like Favorites.

Quick fixes if Favorites don’t stick

• Restart TiviMate (and your device).

• Update the provider/playlist: Settings → Playlists/Providers → Update/Refresh.

• Remove duplicate playlists, keep only your active one.

• If you recently reset TiviMate, re-add your playlist first—then star channels again.
