Hehehe...

I have no clue.

When I lived in Orlando, it didn't bother me.

I mean, for a few seconds I got updated with some local news.

Brighthouse is pushing their Channel 13.

You cant blame them!

I think if you go to some of the other local channel's web pages they tell you how to change it to their station, but personally we watch 13 rather than 9 or 2 because you just get news without a slant for the most part. of course it repeats and repeats so you just go to something else after the first 10 minutes or so.

1. Press the "settings" button on your remote.
2. At the bottom of the screen, click right (or left) until you see "Display."
3. Then click on "Power On Channel" on the gray box in the left column.
4. Change it to your favorite start-up channel.
