Sorry but this feature has been there forever =).

grep -i favorite keys.txt
- / to jump to the next "favorite" channel
- ? to mark/unmark the current channel as a "favorite"
- /             browse program on next favorite channel.
- Pressing '/' will mark/unmark the current channel as a "favorite"

Favorites can be marked on the fly so you can even add or
remove a 'visible' channel while in the EPG and can switch to 
seeing all channels with a single key. You can change channels
to the next favorite and use favorites in browse mode also.
