The basics: your provider’s order

Zappia shows categories exactly as your provider sends them: their original names, in their original order, without merging them. You then decide what changes: the countries to put first, the order, the names, what is hidden or protected.

Countries first

Choose up to 5 countries: their categories move to the top, in the order you chose; the others follow the provider’s order.

  • when you create a profile, for free;
  • later, in SettingsChannels and groupsCountries first Premium, for the current profile.

Tap the countries in the order you want (a number from 1 to 5 appears), then Confirm. Zappia suggests the countries found in your playlist first.

Organize groups Premium

Open SettingsChannels and groupsOrganize channel groups (or Organize movie categories, Organize series categories). The TV, Movies and Series tabs are on the same screen. Each group has its own buttons:

ButtonEffect
Move up / Move downMoves the group one step
Hide / ShowRemoves the group from the lists, or brings it back
Protect / Stop protectingAsks for the parental code to open it
RenameChanges the displayed name; Original name goes back to the provider’s name

Original order puts the tab on screen back in the provider’s order.

Move from the TV screen Premium

Faster: in TV, long-press a category or a channel in a category (or in your favorites), then Move.
