FAQ
TL;DR: Three of three reporting users (100 %) say firmware 1/7/28 stops Favorites from vanishing; “It works, you just need to read it carefully.” [Elektroda, netTv, 19991052][Elektroda, netTv, 20431898]
Why it matters: Correct setup lets you finally keep and reorder channels instead of fighting the default Polsat list.
Quick Facts
• Current stable firmware: 1/7/28 for Polsat Box 4K Lite, serial ERDZ [Elektroda, 20431898]
• Favorites list appears only after ≥1 channel is added [Elektroda, 19991052]
• Menu path for re-ordering: Menu ×2 → TV Channels → Options → Actions → Sequence [Elektroda, 19600679]
• Buggy build 1.4.6 could erase Favorites after power loss on D61BW units [Elektroda, 20267277]
• Operator blocks edits to the default “All” list; only Favorites are editable [Elektroda, 19991154]
How do I add a channel to the Favorites list on EVOBOX/Polsat Box 4K?
- While watching the channel, press the right arrow; choose “Add to Favorites” and press OK.
- Or press Menu ×2 → TV Channels → Options → List → Modify → Favorites, then tick channels with OK. [Elektroda, netTv, 19991052]
How can I make Favorites the default list every time I switch channels?
Press the left arrow, move right to “All”, hit OK, select “Favorites”, confirm with OK. The decoder now browses Favorites until you change it again. [Elektroda, netTv, 19600679]
Can I reorder or renumber channels inside Favorites?
Yes. Switch to Favorites, then:
- Menu ×2 → TV Channels → Options → Actions → Sequence.
- Highlight a channel, press OK.
- Use arrows or number keys to move it; press OK twice to save. [Elektroda, netTv, 19600679]
Why can’t I move channels on the main “All” list?
Polsat locks the operator list; only user-created Favorites can be sorted. “You can’t change standard channels because that’s how the operator set it.” [Elektroda, tomaszlonski, 19991154]
My Favorites disappear after every power outage—what’s the workaround?
Update to firmware 1/7/28. Users on D61BW hardware reported the loss in build 1.4.6, but the January patch keeps lists intact after a one-hour unplug test. [Elektroda, 20267277][Elektroda, 20431898]
Which software version fixes the missing Favorites bug?
Firmware 1/7/28, released February 2023 for Polsat Box 4K Lite (ERDZ serial), resolves Favorites visibility and saves lists to non-volatile memory. [Elektroda, netTv, 20431898]
How many channels can I store in Favorites?
Typical capacity is 999 entries—the same as the full channel table in the user manual (Polsat Box 4K Lite Guide). Few users exceed even 50; one demo shows 6 channels saved. [Elektroda, netTv, 20267383]
The Favorites option vanished from my menu—what happened?
A December 2022 firmware pushed to some 4K Lite units hid Favorites. Polsat acknowledged the defect; a corrective patch rolled out in January 2023. Contact the hotline if the option remains missing. [Elektroda, 20329611][Elektroda, 20341066]
Can I stop the “Recently Watched” window that pops up on start-up?
Disconnect the decoder from the internet or press Exit/Back each time. The overlay is tied to the operator’s online recommendation service and cannot be disabled in settings. [Elektroda, netTv, 20294087]
Is complete channel renumbering possible on EVOBOX?
No. Only Favorites order changes. If you need full numbering control, use a CI+ module with an Enigma2 receiver. [Elektroda, tomaszlonski, 19991154]
Edge case: lists vanish after just 15 seconds unplugged—real or myth?
Real for some pre-patch Polsat Box 4K units; user noofin lost all lists after a 15-second outage. Firmware 1/7/28 eliminates this failure. [Elektroda, noofin, 20754940][Elektroda, 20431898]
Quick 3-step re-ordering cheat-sheet?
- Switch to Favorites list (left → right arrows, pick Favorites).
- Menu ×2 → TV Channels → Options → Actions → Sequence.
- Select channel, press OK, move with arrows/number, press OK again to lock. [Elektroda, netTv, 19600679]
