How to default Live TV app to open with Favorites List?

Jump to solution

Anyone know how to do this? I've seen others ask but no one seems to have given an accurate answer. Mine keeps opening with the All Channels List. 

Thanks all

Apparently, the key to satisfaction is keeping your expectations very low.  Roku broke this back in 2022, if not earlier.  I had a solution and that was to take the time to hide all channels that were not on my favorites list.  This took a lot of time but worked fine until some months ago when Roku unhid all of those channels.   I was not happy.   It's so tedious to watch Roku live TV so I went with other live TV streaming channels on Pluto, Tubi, and Plex.  Now the channel frustration is gone and I can see the channels I want to see and not others.

I just went in to check, and nothing has changed.  You can request all you want, but from what I've seen, it won't get you anywhere.  I don't know what it will take to open management's eyes and agree to fix these issues.  I suspect that they have never looked at this blog and probably just delete our suggestions provided by the support folks.
