Blocking based on Other ratings
YourTVcanblockprogramshavingratingsthathadnotbeendefinedwhentheTVwasmanufactured.It
doesthisbydetectinganewRatingRegionTableinaprogramandthendownloadingthenewtableand
displayingitsratingintheParentalcontrols.
WhentheTVdownloadsanewRating
RegionTable,itaddsanewoptiontothelistofratingtypes:
Otherratings.IfyouseethisoptionintheParentalcontrolsscreen,youhavetunedtoastationthat
hasimplementedanewratingtable.OncethenewratingtablehasbeendownloadedtotheTV,
it
remainsintheTVuntilitisfactoryreset,andyoucanconfigureblockingbasedonthenewratings.
NewRegionRatingTablescanhaveindependentratinglevels,orratinglevelsthatinteractinthesame
waysasthebuilt‐inUSTVandMPAAMovieratings.
Tip:Ifyour
TVdownloadsanewRegionRatingTable,you’llhavetoexperimentwithitssettingsto
understandhowtouseit.
