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:
| Button | Effect |
|---|---|
| Move up / Move down | Moves the group one step |
| Hide / Show | Removes the group from the lists, or brings it back |
| Protect / Stop protecting | Asks for the parental code to open it |
| Rename | Changes 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.
