When I installed it, I was going through the set up wizard and there was an option to block urls. Just to test it, I entered 'foxnews.com' and have not had to look at it since 2. lpbk2713 (Star Member) - Mon Oct 22, 2012 (12:00 pm) Reply to LVdem (Original post) - Post Count: 22,080 One other possibility ... A lot of TV and converter menus allow you to select what channel to start up with.  Try setting it to MSNBC some time.  And WTG on blocking Faux. Who needs that shit anyway? 6.

Depending on the model, you will find areas like AUDIO and VIDEO and possibly parental controls. You should find a CHANNEL BLOCK or CHANNEL ADD or DELETE. You need to know the Faux News channel number then block or delete. Have fun!!! 8.

I was left alone with the remote just long enough to do it.  It caused a little bit of a stink too.  We bought that from a local independant aplliance place and eventually their tech fixed it.  I never asked just how, that would give away it being me that did it maybe.  Either he replaced the chip or got their tech support to override the PW.  It was funny though.  The half-wits were without FOX "News" for at least a month.  That is mostly the old day time drunks that are into it.  Later on it's all sports or the music is cranked up. 5.

I wish I had thought of that! We should start doing it to every TV in every hotel room we stay in.

How mature and the members of the Democrat Party at democraticunderground.com cheer this on. Move over, it's time for the adults to take over!

[Gina]

   OmG!  They act like if they even hear something on Fox they will be converted.  How simple are they?     and once again they try to take the rights of the next hotel guest away because they disagree with the message.

[JohnnyReb]

May the motel visitor suffer an infestation of bed bugs....fellow blood suckers anyway.

[J P Sousa]

Once again my theory on what makes a DUmmy is proved correct.........their feeble minds are still at age 5.

I went to a restaurant today that's usually has FoxNews playing on the tv. Today it had the Communist News Network. I figure a democrat much like the members of the democrat party that post at democratunderground.com must have bitched about having to hear the truth.

Of course, I would think that maybe even CNN doesn't spread enough misinformation for the democrats at democratunderground.com.

I know I have one cat that doesn't like CNN. He's almost as communistic as the democrats at democratunderground.com. He's also almost as lazy as the DU bunch. He so lazy he won't even meow. He'll sit around until another cat meows and just nod his head.

If this is true, which I doubt. I hope one of the DUmmies gets a credit card bill for tampering with the TV and the cost to get it fixed from the hotel.

[dandi]

In Piaget's theory of cognitive development, by age two children develop the concept of object permanence. That is, an understanding that objects continue to exist even though they cannot be seen or heard. DUmmies obviously failed to pass through this sensorimotor milestone.

But seriously, if there's something on TV or the net that I don't want to see, I just don't click on it. The fact that DUmmies feel they have to either block threads or lock out TV channels which have information that might disturb them at the very least demonstrates profound immaturity and lack of self-control.

At the same time they tout themselves as the most intelligent, informed and wise people on the planet.

Yes, but, in the land of the blind the one eyed jack is king.   DemocratUnderground.com  Democrats seem to share a single collective brain cell albeit sometimes infrequently.

Ok, it's not much and the hotel is in Springdale, UT next to Zion National Park (an outpost of Blue in a really, really Red state), but I feel better having saved the next occupant from the Rightwing drivel.

I don't know why I haven't been doing this before...

Who needs that pesky freedom of the press. Just let your local politburo official decide what you can watch. Pravda or Izvestia comrade ?

[Linda]

They are worst than 2 year olds that don't get their way.

[Freeper]

Once again they show their fascist roots. It's not enough for them to simply not watch Fox News, they want to make it so no one else can.

You never hear of a hissy fit by a conservative when MSNBC is playing on a public tee vee, you never see a conservative trying to stop others from watching it. Then again we are adults not children like the idiots at DU are.

[Ogre]

Hey DUmmies, wanna know how I block stuff I don't want to watch.  I don't turn the channel to it, or click on the link.  Works everytime.

Well, this is a DUmpmonkey so of course it's a lie.

Anyone who actually does this is excited because his parents let him have his own room adjoining theirs.

[Maxiest]

I just had to post this since it relates.

Look at the numbers DUmmies...

After looking at those numbers, which I haven't looked at in awhile, its a surprise that CNN is even still on the air.

They are probably still mad at the kids that constantly picked on them in grade school.

If you use Parental Controls on a TV like that,

Set the passcode to a jumble even you won't remember.

Classy. If I were the next guest to have the room you had, (ewwwwwww) I'd report a blocked channel to the hotel, and hope they found you.

[Splashdown]

Like daveman used to say, scratch a liberal,  find a fascist.

Obviously a false flag operation. Damn that Rove!!!.  /DU

[GOP Congress]

When I was on MY vacation, I BLOCKED MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, and PBS!! 

Can't have those stations reek the minds of conservative-minded, patriotic folks like you and me!

((OK, all the above is false. Just throwing the idiotic justaposition thingee back into their faces through their lurkers to show how friggin' STUPID they look!))

[Karin]

Despite the DUmmie's detailed directions on how to operate the remote, typically, hotels don't give that much control to the guest.  The TV service is purchased as a package for the entire building.  You can get adult channels blocked, but the front desk has to do that. 

So, as usual, the dumb demokrat who posts at democraticunderground lied, and the other DUmmies lapped it up.  They're so gullible.
