Blocking Specific Content Themes
You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the
D, L, S, V, FV and TV-Y on your screen. See the beginning of this section for
details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you
automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.
For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult
language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming
TV-PG and above containing adult language.
