Parental Control
The Magic TV™ Parental Control system works in tandem with the Freeview
Parental Ratings to enable you to effectively control what your family views.
Every programme on Freeview NZ includes a rating in accordance with
the Codes of Practice formulated by New Zealand broadcasters and the
government-appointed Broadcasting Standards Authority.
Unrated
G
General Programmes which exclude material likely to be
unsuitable for children. Programmes may not necessarily be
designed for child viewers but must not contain material likely
to alarm or distress them.
PGR
Parental Guidance Recommended Programmes containing
material more suited for mature audiences but not necessarily
unsuitable for child viewers when subject to the guidance of a
parent or an adult.
AO
Adults Only Programmes containing adult themes and
directed primarily at mature audiences.
Programme ratings can be viewed in the white area of the Freeview Guide (see
section 5.2).
You can control which rating level of programmes can be viewed freely and
which require the input of your PIN.
Simply go to Settings
