Enable Block Title: Prevent Titles of Recordings
Blocked by the Parental Control Feature From
Showing
This section describes how to enable the Block Title feature so that the SARA client
prevents the titles of recordings that have been blocked by the Parental Control
feature from showing in the Recorded List, Scheduled Recordings, and Recorded
Program Options screens. When this feature is enabled, the words "Blocked Title"
display in these screens instead of the program title.
The factory setting for this feature is disabled. When disabled, DVRs show the titles
of programs that have been blocked by the Parental Control feature.
Note:
In earlier releases, this setting was configurable from the General Settings
menu. In SR 2.7/3.7 and 4.2 and later, this setting is also configurable from the
DNCS.
