Start-up channel,
For years on my 2021 Android ONN 4K boxes i have had this with no issues.
On my new GoogleTV 2026 ONN 4K stick ($39 dollar one) i have a problem.
. I am using a short Channel collection, same as on the 2021.
. When i select the CHDVR app it launches my Start-up ABC local
when i use ch up/down it goes thru the channels in a different sequence, not the shown channel collection,
it is the sequence it showed on the Start-up channel selection screen, which is a group of Favorites
from HDHR, TVE. It is the same group as the Channel Collection but I can't control this sequence and it uses THIS sequence on the ch/up down.
. IF I exit from the ABC, or any playing channel to the Guide select the same channel or any channel,
THEN ch up/down is now locked to the correct Channel Collection sequence.
It seems like it couldn't get to the Channel Collection fast enough on Start up so uses the other one, until i exit the Guide then go back in and then it does have the Collection at its disposal.
. I have set all Setting the same as on the 2021 model.
.
Is this a bug or is there something, suggestions, i can try.
I have tried turning ON energy Optimization, Changing Surfing from Current Collection to the explicit Collection name, and other things suggested by AI to no avail.
EDIT:
I don't normally use that Ch Collection on my ONN Pro V1, GoogleTV, I just tried it and get the same issue.
possibly it's your guide filter
Well what i see there are Guide, Recordings, TV Shows, Schedule, etc
Nothing that would help.
I’ve had that similar behavior before but rare. It's not repeatable for me.
My steps. Opened CDVR and it goes to correct station. I jump to another station using the quick guide. Used the up arrow to change channels and it changes but not to the expected channel. Up or down and it follows my favorites, not the channel collection. What I’ve found to help is having both the Quick Guide and Channel Surfing set to the same collection and turned off the Favorites Collection.
"...Turned OFF the Favorites collection" May have to check that, not sure I have that selected.
" .... Up or down and it follows my favorites not the channel collection"
Yes, exactly, until I go to the Guide, then Play one, then all is good.
I just eliminated the Start-up channel, all good.
I wonder if it is something about the Android 14 vs GoogleTV ??
It does the same thing on my ONN Pro v1, GoogleTV.
Does not do it on my older ONN 4k Android 14.
Thanks for the reply
