IPTV favourites and channel groups
Build a favourites list and tidy channel groups in TiviMate, IPTV Smarters and other players, so the channels you watch are always one click away.
Quick answer
Add the channels you watch to favourites, hide the groups you never use and set favourites as the default view. In TiviMate long-press a channel and choose Add to favourites; in IPTV Smarters press the heart icon. It makes a large list feel like a personal TV.
