On our camping trips with OTA antenna is there a way to block/not receive certain channels? After scanning the channels we find that about 1/2 are not watchable. We do not care about seeing religious, spanish language, and infomercials. I would like to eliminate them from my scan so I can switch between the few that we watch. Our last trip we picked up 20 stations but only 4-5 were something we would watch.

Our TV has a place in the menu to make channels disappear.

Yes, you should be able to do that on your TV. Usually located as a menu item located somewhere close to where you choose to scan the channels.

Don't know about all TVs but both brands in my RV have me go to a 'setup' mode on my menu and there I can do an auto scan for OTA antenna or cable. I can alternatively add specific channels or delete specific channels - one at a time. That won't "block" the unwanted channels but it will eliminate the unwanted channels from your remote

If you go into the menu on your TV, it probably has a menu item for channels. Open that and you will probably find a list of the channels you picked up with check boxes so you can choose the ones you want to keep and the ones you want to skip.

So when one breaks camp and moves to a different area are the channels from the last campground still blocked or does disconnecting the AC power return to all channels?
