I think it was someone here who pointed this little scheme out but it may have come from elsewhere. I got to use it once and if you can do the same you will find it greatly satisfying. I have only done it once, at a local doctor's office. It was the only time the remote control was available.

Anyway, here is what you do. Find the Menu button on the remote and then find the Parental Control. Once your'e there first set a password and then block out the FOX channel. Exit the menu and congratulate yourself for saving the world, one poor TV viewer at a time.
