Favourites and categories · Fire TV Stick

For Fire TV Stick, check the selected playlist, filters and local favourites before assuming a channel was removed. Preferences can belong to the player installation.

Favourites and categories on Fire TV Stick

A hidden category, a language filter and a missing source produce different results. An app replacement may not copy the old local favourites.

An Android APK is not a universal Fire TV installer. Amazon lists both Fire OS and Vega OS models; identify yours before choosing a build.

Check the Fire TV Stick setup

Platform to identify: Check whether your model runs Fire OS or Vega OS
Controls used in this guide: The fire tv remote
Keep privately: The player account format and any supported favourites export

Use the Fire TV application settings for the installed player, not a television factory reset.

A detour to avoid for favourites and categories

Do not delete the account to remove a filter. A subscription renewal does not necessarily restore locally stored favourites.
