Blocking Broadcast TV shows
For broadcast TV, parental controls use information embedded in the broadcast
signal to determine whether to allow a program to be displayed. Parents can
configure parental controls to block broadcast TV programs that meet or exceed a
specific rating, so they cannot be viewed or heard unless the correct parental control
PIN is entered.
Note:
Rating standards differ by country.

TV shows on and off without disturbing their settings. For example, your kids are
have to deal with unblocking shows that you want to watch by entering your parental
control PIN. All you need to do is clear Enable parental controls, and all TV shows are
unblocked. When the kids return, select Enable parental controls again, and all of
your parental control settings are restored in a single operation.
