Creating Custom Groups

This is a step-by-step guide on creating a custom group. You can create as many custom groups as you want and add channels from any playlist or group.

When on the channel guide, long press the select button to open the menu on the right. Go to the menu and scroll down to Create Group.

Open menu and select Create Group

Click on Create Group and you will see all your playlists that are activated. Click on the playlist you want to add your custom group to. (This example uses All Playlists.)

Select playlist for custom group

Once you choose where you want your custom group, you will be prompted to give it a name. Enter a name, click next, and then click Done.

Name your custom group

Now you can go to your list of playlists and see the group you just created.

Custom group in playlist list

Choose a playlist you want to get channels from to add to your custom group. Scroll over to the channel guide, and long press the select button to bring up the menu on the right. Scroll down to Copy Channels and click on it. Now you can select the channels you want to add to your custom group. Click on the channels you want and a check mark will show to the right of the channel name.

Select channels to copy

Press the right side of the selection button (as you would if you were going to scroll to the right). It will ask you what group you want to copy or move the channel to. It’s best to copy the channel rather than move it; choose the Custom group you just created.

Choose group to copy to

Go back to the channel guide, scroll over to the playlists, and you will see your channel is now in your Custom Group.

Channel in custom group

Once you have placed the channels you want into your custom group, you can also remove a channel if needed. From the TV guide, select the channel you want to move back, long press the select button, scroll down on the menu on the right to Copy Channels. Then go back, click on it so it has a check mark, hit the right side of your navigation ring, then scroll down to the group it came from, click it and hit Move. If you’re unsure where the channel needs to go back to, after you choose the channel and go to move it back, the only playlists showing will be where the channel currently is and where it came from.

Note

Remember to always run a backup after doing customizations.
