Default re scan

Idiots, in my opinion, at the FCC, authorized this modern digital TV empire. Every market has channels reallocated every few months and force us off-the-air clientele to re-scan our sets. Total nuisance. Everytime I re-scan, I have to tolerate the non-English channels reappearing after I hide them in the set.

Not having audio is likely the spanish mandate our lovely FCC has dictated.

I have my channel 8.1 repeatedly during network sports games, change my set from audio one to audio two, aka spanish. It would not 'sitck' on audio one, the English.

Half the problem is the TV set manuf, the other half the broadcaster following new technology dictates.

iow -- channel 13 is no longer assigned the rf frequencies called ch13. It can be rf channel 11 and the data tells your set to ID it as channel 13. What a mess.
