How to organize IPTV channels with favorites
Open a playlist you are authorized to use and mark the channels you revisit with the star control in TellyFlow’s channel list. Open Favorites to check that those entries are together. The playlist source still controls what is available to play.
Choose a few channels to keep
Imagine your source has a local bulletin in News, a weather channel in Local, and a concert channel in Music. If you regularly watch those three, start there. Leave the other channels in the original playlist so you can browse them when you need them.
If several channels have nearly identical names, open the intended entry before marking it. The source category or the programme currently playing can help you identify it. Choose the exact variant you normally watch.
Mark the channels in TellyFlow
Open the channel list for your playlist and find an entry you want to keep. Use search if the list is long. In the channel list layout, tap the star beside the entry. A filled star shows that the channel is selected as a favorite.
Return to the Favorites tab and check for the bulletin, weather and concert entries. Open one from Favorites to check that you picked the intended channel. The saved selection makes it easier to revisit a channel from its supplied playlist.
- Open your authorized playlist in TellyFlow.
- Find a channel you want to revisit and tap its star.
- Open Favorites and check that the chosen entry appears.
Keep the list easy to scan
If you marked the concert channel for one event, clear its star in the channel list when you are done. Return to Favorites and check that the two other entries remain. Clearing a favorite updates your selection in TellyFlow.
When a replacement channel appears with a similar name, check what it plays before adding it. You can then remove the old choice if you no longer use it. This keeps two similarly named entries from crowding the list.
Check the source when a channel changes
If a favorite disappears or no longer plays, check the same channel in the current playlist. The source can rename, move or remove a channel. Availability and playback also depend on your connection.
If the source has added a replacement, compare its name and what it plays with the entry you remember. Mark the replacement only after you confirm it is the version you want.
Questions
Does favoriting a channel change the categories in my playlist?
Your source supplies those categories. Favoriting saves a selection in TellyFlow’s Favorites view.
How can I remove a channel from Favorites?
Open the channel list and clear the star on the channel. Check Favorites again to confirm the change.
Why might a favorite stop playing?
Open the entry from the current playlist and check your connection and source. A saved selection depends on the same stream as the original channel entry.
