The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of TV program limits.
Tip
When you change the status
of an age-based rating to
Block, the system will
automatically block that
rating and all of its content
themes and all higher ratings
and their content themes.
When you change the status
of a Content Theme to B, the
system will automatically
block that content theme in
the current rating and in all
higher ratings. Only the
