I'm listening to a talk radio station and there have been a couple callers complaining that when then turn off the TV on one channel, and then turn the TV back on it defaults to the Obama channel.  

Are any of you folks seeing this.

I can't believe he bought a channel to spew his crap.  

I did a search and found nothing.

I thought it was a channel on Dish TV.
70-sumpin, IIRC.

I'll look for it on DirectTV tonight.

I heard from a talk radio caller that if I stick my hand up a pitbull's ass I will find a leprechaun who will grant me three wishes.  Notice a patten?

Well I would pet the Pitbull first and maybe give him a doggy treat.  But feel free to give it a try.

That's a user setting on the receiver.  You can set the receiver to either come back on the channel it was last on, or to come on to a selected default channel.  Someone in the home is probably screwing with them.  I suppose it is possible that that setting could be adjusted remotely, but it's less likely.

WTF, there is an Obama channel?

My Direct TV does no such thing. Mine also does not have an Obama channel (you do you know you can select what channels are seen and what ones are not, right?).

Dish users, if you hit "Menu" then "Favorites" You can custom program what channels go through when you push the up and down buttons to change channels on your box.

I haven't seen the likes of ch 73, 101, 108, 124, 127, etc. in a few years now.

When you hit the "Guide" button more than once it cycles through "All Channels", "All Sub", "All HD", etc....once you setup your channels, you will have your own set on that list.

I have a set, my wife has her set, and I have a set for sports only to find football games easier on Saturday.

I haven't seen anything of the sort from my craptastic Directv. The box magically turns on in the middle of the night though.

Same here. On my HD DVR in the "Movies Now & Showcases" section there is a "Paid for by Obama for America, 2 New/ 2 Total".

The only way to get them off my DVR is to wait until they expire on 11/4.

Yup. I think they've been catching a ration of shit for it as well, because on the guide, they have "PAID AD" bolded after it. Although Charlie Ergen is such a lib fucktard, I bet he got a sweetheart deal for it.
