Favourites
Marking Favourites
Star channels you watch frequently to build a favourites list. You can toggle a channel's favourite status from the settings menu while viewing or playing that channel.
Filtering by Favourites
Set Channel scope to "Favourites" to show only your starred channels in the grid or carousel. This is useful if you have a large channel lineup but only regularly watch a handful of channels.
Preferences Persistence
All your settings are stored in the webOS db8 database, which means they survive app updates. You won't lose your preferences when ChannelUP is updated from the LG Content Store.
Per-channel preferences (audio track, subtitle track) are also persisted via db8.
