My TV just recently started defaulting to Nickelodeon...which I hate! Noisy, cartoonish stuff for kids. I have no kids. My settings/set top box doesn't have an option for "channel on" or "on channel" - I forget the exact term given.  The list is:  front display, standby front display, screen saver, keypad, ste top box namd, LED brightness, Sleep Timer & help.

This is how you change it after the new update:

Menu>settings>system>media server settings>Power on channel

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  It was so irritating to have Fios news forced on us as a default.  You suggestion worked perfectly.

Thank you this worked. Just got Quantum..for those boxes you need to go to menu>settings>media client settings>power on channel>last channel watched.

When I go to box top settings, I do not have a Power On Channel option.  Right now when I turn on the tv I just keep on pushing the channel number I want.  We pay for the tv service how dare THEY decide which channel to start on with.
