Blocking unrated programs
Some broadcast TV shows and movies are assigned a rating of “Unrated”. Whether or not such
programs contain content that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose
to block such programs.
To block all unrated broadcasts:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to Antenna TV > Block all unrated programs.
3. Highlight Block and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changed
from unlocked to locked.
Tip: Blocking programs that have been assigned a rating of “Unrated” does not block programs that
have no rating assigned to them (for example a broadcast of a local town council meeting).
Programs that do not have an assigned rating display Rating NA (for “not applicable, meaning a
rating is not needed). Programs that have no assigned rating are considered “safe”; therefore, there
is no need to block them.
What happens when a TV show is blocked?
After you’ve set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked:
• When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceeds
your settings.
• When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings.
When a program is blocked by parental control settings, the TV displays a blocked message:
Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are blocked, as well as
program data that would normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen.
