programming children watch.

options from which to choose:
Block Channel: Block individual chan-
nels, including the FRONT (Audio/Video In)
channel.
Clear All: Allows you to clear and view
all previously blocked channels.
Block All: Blocks all channels from view-
ing, including the FRONT channel.
Movie Rating: Blocks programming
based on ratings of the Motion Pictures
Association of America.
TV Rating: Blocks programming based
on TV broadcast ratings.
