Channel Shortcuts

My DIRECTV satellite service had a feature that by pressing the UP button a popup appeared where [if I remember correctly] one could set 8 channels for quick selection.

Now I’m using the streaming service and am wondering if there is a similar feature. It’s kind of a pain if I’m Smithsonian channel and scrolling thru all those channels to change to HGTV. I’m using a Roku as the DIRECTV Streaming app doesn’t work on my supposedly supported Samsung Smat TV.

What you can do is to go to the Guide and mark (Go to the Left of the guide, use your left arrrow and go over the name of the channel and hit "OK", then left arrow to "Add Favorite" and hit OK. This will make the channel as a favorite. Do this to all the channels you want quick eccess to. Then select Favorites from the Guide menu, and you only see the channels you have selected as Favorites, instead of scrolling through the entire guide.

You can do the up arrow on your remote and a popup with around 10 recent channels pops up. (it might be the down button) The only difference between Dtv Stream and Satellite---is the Satellite Genie has buffers on those recent channels (I think only like 6)----Dtv Stream has no buffers on recent channels.
