Favorite channels for Roku on firestick
I downloaded the Roku app to my Firestick, The channel guide only shows All channels, with no way to select Favorite channels. How do I select Favorite channels?

However, I cant get a Channel Options menu on my Firestick. There is no star or asterisk button. The hamburger 3 line button does nothing when the channel is highlighted in the EPG. I think Roku needs to program the FireOS app for the 3 bar menu botton to behave like the options Roku button. I have Roku & FireTV devices & want to use Roku Channels from all of them.
MatrixFantasy Those steps do not apply to The Roku Channel. It is referring to a Roku TV, which has a remote with the * button. There is no way to save/set favorite channels within The Roku Channel, regardless of the device being used to view it.
Thanks for the clarification! I used Roku devices for years & still have several, but mostly run FireCubes and plan to buy a 2023+ Shield when released. My IPTV providers heavily support Android so that is my primary streaming devices. So, I have been out of touch regarding Roku TV & Roku Channels tips & tricks. It would be convenient if Roku programmed a way to save Favorites. Other apps I use on Android such as Tivimate, Purple Player, Smarters Pro & similar have a Favorites feature. For Roku Channels, I have to reference a list that I make & scroll through 800 English channels. There needs to be a better way! atc98092
That's what I figured. Thanks for the info.
