Newsmax as default channel on DTV

Have noticed a recent trend on the DTV ex-CO planes where the default channel during the week now defaults to Newsmax TV, which offers a take on news with an admitted "conservative bias."

Strikes me as something that is not broadly appropriate to default to (just like Fox News or msnbc would also seem to offend a significant portion of the population)...

Realize that it's a minor issue, but given that UA monitors these boards, they may want to change the default to something less controversial (like CNBC, which used to be the default)
