Blocking based on US TV ratings
Most broadcast US TV shows other than movies contain rating data that enables
are divided into two groups that function independently:
• Youth group TV-Y, TV-Y7
• Main group TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA
Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular
level of content, the TV also blocks all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you
unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content with a lower
rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-
MA programs. If you subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also
unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked.
Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For
example, you can block just coarse language in shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do,
then the TV also blocks shows with coarse language in the higher ratings (TV-14 and
TV-MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblock
coarse language in TV-MA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV-PG
programs.
