how do i hide channels that I don't want to see?

There are many channels I don't ever want to see.  How do I hide them?  Can I make multiple favorite lists?  I like a list that shows all the movies and one that shows the cooking, etc.  On Directv I was able to do that.  So far I'm not real impressed with Uverse.

Want to cancel STARZ subscription

I subscribed to STARZ about a week and a half ago and want to cancel my subscription. If I cancel today will programming end immediately or at the end of my billing cycle? I just want to make sure I don't miss the window for cancelling and be forced to pay for another month. Not worth the money.
