What to save before resetting a streaming device
Protect app access, favourites and household controls before a factory reset.

Make sure a reset is the next useful test
Restart the app, confirm its official updates and see whether another app works. If one account or channel is failing on several devices, a factory reset can erase a good setup without addressing the source.
Write a recovery checklist
Record the device and OS version, app developer, account owner and any two-step sign-in steps you will need. Use the player’s supported export for favourites or settings if it offers one. Put login details in a password manager. Make a note of remote, sound and parental-control settings that are easy to forget.
Prove you can return to a working screen
If permitted by the account, check that you can find the app on the current device store before resetting. After setup, test one live feed and one on-demand title and verify captions and guide time. Reinstall other apps only after that basic path works.
