USING THE PROFILES
After a spending limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter a password to
purchase a pay per view program that costs more than your spending limit allows. The
system will then temporarily unlock the limits you have set until the power is turned off.
When the system is turned back on, the system will be locked again.
Setting the DIRECTV Rating Limit
The Set TV Ratings Limit menu enables you to set a maximum viewing limit for rated
DIRECTV movies (based on the MPAA ratings system), as long as the DIRECTV
program provider has transmitted the proper code.
•Note that the ratings limit cannot be enforced if a DIRECTV program has not been
rated, if rating information for that program is not transmitted by the program
provider, or if the system has not been locked.

including a PG-13 rating can be viewed.
After the rating limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter the system password
to watch programs with a rating higher than the limit. The system will then temporarily

back on, the system will be locked again.
Important!
You need to lock the system in order
for rating limits, channel limits, and
spending limits to go into effect.
To edit the limits after you lock the
system, you need to enter the
system password. See “Locking the
System” for details.
Please note that the rating limit you
set while in the SAT Setup menu
applies only to DIRECTV programs—
they do not apply to TV programs.
To set limits for TV programming,
select a profile, select TV Setup and
then select Set TV Rating or Set
Movie Rating.
