Is There A Receiver Capable of Disabling Channels Via Software

Years ago, before we had locking banana plugs, my girl kitty decided to "enhance" our television viewing experience by pulling the cables out from our center channel. Now she happened to do this during an NFL game and in doing so she removed Joe Buck from the equation. Like I said, she enhanced things.


What we really discovered in all of this is how much we enjoy watching sporting events with no announcers and just the sounds of the game/arena/stadium, etc.. To this day we still manually remove the cables from the center channel to kill the announcers. However, we'd like to avoid doing this manually in the future.


So the question is pretty simple -- which receivers are out there that allow you to enable/disable speakers on a per-channel basis via their software interface? Ideally you could do it via a button on the remote, but I doubt that's available. So if it's via software, that's fine. Just something to prevent us from doing it manually.
