And the answer was no. There is another way but can be too much for some. That is, there are Arduino (see google) modules that you can, at the time specified send the command to turn on and then to change channels.
I have a LG 32LH604V tv. I found out the timer to start the tv automatically in a specific time. But is there any way to start the tv automatically and run a channel automatically too at startup?
