Blocking and Unblocking Content by Rating
A channel may sometimes broadcast programs that are meant
for children, and at other times broadcast programs that are
meant for mature audiences. You may not want to block the
channel completely using a channel lock, but you may wish to
block certain programs from being viewed.
When this is the case, you can use the TV’s Rating Block feature
to block content based on its rating.
For a list of content ratings and their definitions, visit
