Blocking based on US movie ratings
Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or
MPAA, so the ratings are known as MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie
rating data that enables parental controls to block programs that parents don’t want
others to see. The ratings are:
•
G – General audiences
•
PG – Parental guidance suggested
•
PG-13 – Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger
•
R – Restricted
•
NC-17 – Not for age 17 or younger
Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like
TV ratings, blocking movies with a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher
rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks movies with a
lower rating.
Tip
: Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete
X rating, which can still occur in the program data of older movies.
To block movies based on MPAA ratings:
1.
From the Home screen menu, navigate to
Settings > Parental controls
, and then
enter your parental control PIN.
2.
In the
Parental controls
screen, navigate to
TV Tuner > Movie ratings
.
3.
Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level,
and all higher levels are automatically blocked.
