Movies
The Movies tab lets you set rating limits based on the MPAA rating system. Use the
up and down arrows to highlight the highest rating you want to be able to view.
Press SELECT to set that rating as the highest allowable on the DIRECTV
®
Receiver.
For example, if you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating
and lower (in other words, movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically
block out all other movies with higher ratings by highlighting the rating status
button corresponding to PG-13 and pressing SELECT.
TV
The TV tab lets you decide which TV programs can and cannot be viewed
based on age-based and content-based ratings. The following table gives more
