WATCHING A LOCKED PROGRAM
As described in the Setting Up Parental Locks section, TDS TV gives you the ability restrict the types of
programming accessible to those who use your TV service, based on channel, content, and/or rating.
At any time you can override Parental Locks and watch a particular locked program that’s currently air-
ing by entering a personal identification number (PIN). Here’s how:
1. At the locked program screen (which appears when content is locked), press OK on your remote.
2. Enter the four-digit parental locking PIN at the prompt.
3. Use the
UP
or
DOWN ARROW
to select the unlocking option you want:
- Unlock this program: lets you start watching the program immediately. The program
remains unlocked until it’s finished or you change channels.
- Unlock all TV for 4 hours: unlocks all programs temporarily. After four hours, parental locks
go back into effect.
