The other route that does not require custom channel collections is to simply set the Quick Guide to your favorites. Then, in the client app, go to Settings > Manage Sources to select which sources are visible, and mark your favorite channels.

Remember, the favorite/disabled status of a channel is a client/device setting. It is not synced across apps, and it is different than the favorites or source priority on the DVR server.
