During the mute of offensive language, TVG
®
will display a
profanity free version of the phrase in text. When the spoken
phrase is completed, the text is erased the sound is restored. The
text may optionally be turned off. We suggest you try the
factory default settings for a few weeks before changing them.
Examples:
The phrase “ GET THE HELL OUT ” is muted and “ GET
OUT ” is displayed.
The phrase “ MOVE YOU’RE A- -! ” is muted and
“ MOVE YOUR TAIL ” is displayed
•
TVG
®
mutes the entire offensive phrase instead of just the word
and displays the modified text, by design. It’s too easy to fill in
the blanks in your mind when only a single word is muted.
Displaying the profanity free text version of the muted phrase
makes your eyes focus on the text instead of the lips. The
TVG
®
method makes it more difficult to know what word
caused the mute.

TVG
®
has a 95% average accuracy rate on TVG
®
filtered
(closed captioned) programs, but TVG
®
can only be as accurate
as the closed captioned text. TVG
®
filters out 100% of the
offensive language on many TV programs and movies; however,
if the closed captioning is inaccurate on a particular show,
TVG
®
will be inaccurate on that particular show.
•
Foul words that are normally filtered are missed when closed
captioning errors exist (i.e. a foul word is not captioned,
misspelled or is not synchronized with the spoken word). Closed
captioning is usually very accurate, but some movies and TV
shows are full of errors. That’s the exception, not the rule.
Watch several videos or DVDs before rushing to judgment!
