from the assigned ratings.
Note: No rating system can guarantee that all unwanted material is
screened out.
• Like all other locks, these locks work only when you lock the receiver.
• You can lock any satellite program, even a pay per view program.
• The locks built into some TVs (“V chip” locks) don’t work for satellite
programs.
• TV program ratings are different from movie ratings.
