Currently both the Live TV app and the TV & Movies app allows a user to specify 
their favorite channels. However, these are completely separate lists. It would 
be better to have a system-wide list of favorite channels for the user. Also, 
it would be good to have an API so that other apps can get the list of favorite 
channels and also add to the list of favorite channels. The existing channel 
listing content provider could be extended to indicate which channels are 
favorites:

Uri mProviderUri = Uri.parse("content://" + "com.google.android.tv.provider" + 
"/" + "channel_listing");
String[] mProjection = {"channel_uri", "callsign", "channel_number", 
"favorite"};
Cursor mCursor = getContentResolver().query(mProviderUri,               // the 
content URI of the provider
                                            mProjection,                // the columns to return
                                            null,                     // the column to match against
                                            null,                  // the matching value
                                            "channel_number" + " ASC"   // the sort order
                  );
