Getting the guide to only show favorite channels

I have Motorola DVRs (just converted to a non-Contour system). No matter what I do, I can't get the guide to only show my favorite channels, and I can't get rid of the non-favorite channels. When I use the up and down channel buttons, it goes through all of the channels, not just the favorites.

The last update seems to have broken this feature that used to be really nice. 

I have 100's of channels in Skip Channels, all of them are in the guide.  I wish we could roll back that last update.

Too bad you left Contour. You can do that with Contour.

It was obviously possible without contour as we had this capability before the last DVR update.  

It makes the guide nearly useless with all those channels I never watch blocking the view of the good channels. 

Besides I really do not appreciate the adult channels showing up in the guide when my kids are looking for shows to watch.

cjmnews,

You should be able show Favorite Channels only. In your guide, press the Yellow Triangle (A for sort), select List channels, and then Favorites. You can also hide adult titles using the parental controls. The up and down channel buttons will not skip channels. You can use the FAV button to surf up the channels in your list.

As I said before I already have 100's in the Skipped Channels.  The guide should use them.  I will try the favorites as an alternative but it seems wrong since skipped channels are ignored.

I set up the channels I want to see as favorites and then you can open the  "Guide" and then scroll through the guide using the "FAV" button. The guide will only stop on channels you have selected as a favorite.
