New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same ways as the
built-in U.S. TV and MPAA Movie ratings.
Blocking based on Canadian English ratings
Canadian-English language and third-language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Action Group
on Violence on Television, or AGVOT. TV broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block
shows that parents don't want others to view based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The
ratings are:
• C—Children under 8 years
• C8—Children 8 years and older
• G—Generally suitable for all age groups
• PG—Parental guidance suggested for viewers under 14 years
• 14+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 14 years
• 18+—Generally not suitable for viewers under 18 years
Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a
particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on AGVOT ratings:
1
From the
Home
screen menu, navigate to
Settings > Parental controls
, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2
In the
Parental controls
screen, navigate to
TV tuner > Canadian English ratings
.
3
Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are
automatically blocked.
Blocking based on Canadian French ratings
Canadian-French language programs that are broadcast in Canada are rated by the Régie du cinéma du Québec. TV
broadcast signals carry rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents don't want others to view
based on content containing violence, language, sex, or nudity. The ratings are:
• G—Generally suitable for all age groups
• 8+—Viewers 8 years and older
• 13+—Viewers 13 years and older
• 16+—Viewers 16 years and older
• 18+—Adults only
Blocking content with a particular rating also blocks content with a higher rating, and unblocking content with a
particular rating also unblocks movies with a lower rating.
To block programs based on Canadian-French ratings:
1
From the
Home
screen menu, navigate to
Settings > Parental controls
, and then enter your parental control PIN.
2
In the
Parental controls
screen, navigate to
TV tuner > Canadian French ratings
.
3
Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher levels are
automatically blocked.
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 parental control PIN.
2
In the
Parental controls
screen, navigate to
TV tuner > Block all unrated programs
.
3
Highlight
Unrated programs
and press
OK
. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changes from
unlocked to locked.
Tip
If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its
settings to understand how to use it.
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.
