Limits
The LIMITS screen provides settings to help you control the viewing restrictions of DIRECTV
®
programming. These limits, when accompanied by the CHANNEL
LISTS , put a great degree of control in your hands.
For the TV Timer, Rating and Spending limits to be enforced,
the digital satellite receiver must be locked, as described earlier
in this chapter.
Places to go from the LIMITS screen
TV Timer
When you select TV Allow , the TV TIMER screen will be presented. If your receiver is locked, you
will need to enter your passcode to access this screen.
From the TV TIMER screen you can specify the hours that
DIRECTV
®
programming can be viewed on your receiver. This is
done by highlighting each of the days you wish to control and
pressing
. After selecting a day of the week, you can set an
acceptable start and end viewing period or a total viewing duration.
Things to do in the LIMITS screen
Max Rating
Program ratings indicate the suitability of a program’s content for a given audience. For families with
younger children, a lower rating limit may be desirable. Other
families may choose to allow viewing of more sophisticated
programming. The
LIMITS screen leaves this choice and control up
to you.
Highlight the Max Ratings button and press to display the
MAX RATING pop-up menu where you set the limit. When the
digital satellite receiver is locked, the passcode must be entered to
change the ratings limit.
Determine the highest allowable rating for your family and highlight
it. When you press
all ratings up to and including the chosen
rating will be checked. All higher ratings will be cleared. You may
choose to
Lock All or Allow All instead of setting a specific limit.
