Things to do on the LIMITS screen
Max Rating
Program ratings indicate the suitability of a program’s content for a given audience. For families with
younger children, a lower rating limit may be desirable. Other
families may choose to allow viewing of more sophisticated
programming. The LIMITS screen leaves this choice and control up
to you.
Highlight the Max Ratings button and press to display the
MAX RATING pop-up menu where you set the limit. When the
system is locked, the passcode will be needed to change the ratings
limit.
Highlight to the highest allowable rating for your family. When you
press all ratings up to and including the chosen rating will be
checked. All higher ratings will be cleared. You may choose to Lock
All or Allow All instead of setting a specific limit.
For the rating limit to be enforced, the digital satellite receiver
must be locked. Locking is described earlier in this chapter.
Max Spending
PPV access enables you to purchase special, limited-broadcast events such as sporting events and
movies. You can set the amount of money that can be spent on a per-event basis. To change the
displayed limit, highlight the Max Spending button and press to display the SPENDING
LIMIT pop-up panel where you set the limit. When the system is locked, the passcode will be needed
to change the ratings limit.
Use the number keys on the remote control to set the limit or use the and keys to increase or
decrease each digit. Use the and keys to highlight the digit that you want to change. The maximum
limit is $655.
Highlight OK and press to confirm the entered amount. Selecting Cancel will leave the
spending limit unchanged.
For the spending limit to be enforced, the digital satellite receiver must be locked. Locking is
described earlier in this chapter.
Channel Lists
Channel Lists are provided to help you organize the hundreds of available channels into groupings that
are more appropriate for your household. Each list can contain as
many or as few channels as you would like. You can customize these
groupings in a variety of ways. For example, Fav. A could be Dad’s
favorite channels, Fav. B could be Mom’s favorites, Fav. C could be
the kids’ channels, and Family could be all channels that Mom and
Dad have deemed appropriate for the entire family. Each of the lists,
with the exception of Family can be renamed.
NOTE: If locking the receiver, only channels included in the
Family list will be accessible. If the Family list has not had
channels added to it, no channels can be viewed without first
unlocking the receiver. To avoid this inconvenience, set up the
Family list to include all channels or those channels that you
deem acceptable. Locking is described earlier in this chapter.
