I did remember that to change to favorites you need to select & switch to one of the channels, a somewhat tricky maneuver. I really love the Beyonwiz products though would never recommend then to a luddite or non-technical user (or I could become their support).
Almost any TV I have ever used that has multiple favourites lists does it the same way. Perhaps it is just the navigation steps on the Wiz that make it seem more convoluted?

I am surprised though that the current V2 still doesn't have Wi-Fi though I'm sure it is far more advanced than the T3. I would upgrade if they made it easier with Wi-Fi instead of the dongle or TP-Link AP that I use.
It deliberately specced to be cost effective, and you add features as required by adding parts. That way, you can sell a cheap base model for those people who don't want WiFi, or those who don't want a HDD, or extra tuners etc..
You can either do that, or sell a range of differently specced products, and having lots of different production models has its own costs and headaches for the manufacturer/distributor.

Maybe I will research the V2 to see what has changed. I would as well probably use an SSD though is there really any point since they don't cope well with frequent sector writes. We record under 5 hours each week.
The
Unofficial Comparison Guide should be your first stop then.
Your big improvements over the T3 is full 1080p and 2160p(4K) support.
HEVC (h.265) media decoding support.
Ability to run Kodi and Kodi plugins.
External power supply (fewer issues with failing internal supplies).
Gigabit Ethernet.
Much faster CPU for a snappier GUI.
USB3.
Anyway, I'll let the list talk about the cost/benefits in detail.
