Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented
by the D, L, 5, V, and FVon your screen. See the beginning of this section
for details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you
automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as
well.
For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have
adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block all
programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.
To block program content:
1. Determine the lowest level of content you do not want the child to
watch.
2.

Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating field.
Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the
age-based ratings until the rating that corresponds with the lowest
content you do not want the child to watch appears. (In the
example above, you would scroll through the ratings until the TV-PG
rating appeared.)
Press the right arrow to move the highlight to the field
corresponding with the content theme you wish to block out.
I Broadcasters are not required to provide 1
content themes or age-based ratings.
Programs received with no content
themes will only be blocked if you block
their age-based rating.
