Blocking based on other ratings
Your Roku TV can block programs having rangs that had not been dened when the TV was manufactured. It does
this by detecng a new Rang Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and displaying its rang
in the Parental controls.
When the TV downloads a new Rang Region Table, it adds a new opon to the list of rang types: Other rangs. If
you see this opon in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a staon that has implemented a new rang
table. Once the new rang table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains in the TV unl it is factory reset, and you
can congure blocking based on the new rangs.
New Region Rang Tables can have independent rang levels, or rang levels that interact in the same ways as the
built-in US TV and MPAA Movie rangs.
Tip
: If your TV downloads a new Region Rang Table, you’ll have to experiment with its sengs to
understand how to use it.
Blocking based on Canadian English ratings
Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Acon Group
on Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rang data that enables parental controls to block
shows that parents don’t want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The
rangs are:
• C – Children under 8 years
• C8 – Children 8 years and older
• G – Generally suitable for all age groups
• PG – Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years
• 14+ – Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years
• 18+ – Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years
Blocking content with a parcular rang also blocks content with a higher rang, and unblocking content with a
parcular rang also unblocks movies with a lower rang.
To block programs based on AGVOT rangs:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Sengs > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to TV tuner > Canadian English rangs.
3. Select the rang level you want to block. You need only select one rang level, and all higher levels are
automacally blocked.
