    My hopper thinks I always want to watch OWN!

    Anytime I turn my hopper on during the daytime it comes on the OWN channel - even when the last channel I had been watching was different. This is driving me nuts, and I want it to stop! Yes, the hopper is right, the most frequent channel I watch during these lovely daytime hours is OWN, but...
