Clone UI Configuration for Live TV / Guide
Long story short, I recently cut the cord, and got 3 identical Fire TV sticks (4K Max) For Family room, Bedroom and Den. I set up the family room first, downloaded the apps of the services I use, then I discovered the live TV button on the remote, which displays the bar of apps on top and I spent quite a bit of time scrolling down through all the live channels that were displayed from all of those apps, and I added tons of favorites.
Days later, I set up the stick in my den, and used the restore feature to sync content. It looks like all that does is download the apps I've installed on the first stick from the family room. I had to sign into each of those apps again on the second stick. (not too much of a big deal as it's easy with the app qr codes, etc). But what I didn't like is the app bar on top, displays the apps in different order, thus the channel guide is not identical., and even more frustrating, none of my favorites carried over. So I spent a long time re-favoriting the channels on the second stick. And last night, I set up the third stick in the bedroom, and same issue. So now I have all 3 sticks,. but they are not identical as to app order, and favorites, etc. So I'm getting a different experience in each room.
Any ideas how I can make all 3 of these sticks "copy exact"?
I've tried searching for backup/restore, clone, copy, and unfortunately the only results I'm seeing are irrelevant and related to people trying to pirate stuff. Closest info I've found is just how to get all apps to sync, which isn't necessarily my problem, I just want the UI to be exactly the same across all 3 of my devices.
