Selecting Set Movie Rating allows you to set a limit for movies based on

Blocking Movie Ratings
If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other
words, movies rated PG and G), then you can automatically block out all other movies
with higher ratings.
To block movies:
1.
Determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch.
2.
Highlight the rating status button corresponding to the lowest rating you do not
want the child to watch. (In the example above, you would highlight the rating
status button corresponding to PG-13, since the highest rating you want the child
to watch is PG.)
3.
Press OK to change the button from View to Block. All higher ratings’ View
buttons will automatically change to Block.
Change the button from View to Block and all higher rated movies will
also be blocked.
4.
Press the left arrow to return to the menu or exit the screen.
Please note that the
rating limits you set
while in the TV Setup
menu apply only to TV
programs—they do not
apply to DIRECTV
programs.
To set limits for DIRECTV
®
programming, select a
profile, select DIRECTV
Setup and then select Set
Rating Limit.
You must remember to
lock the system for
rating limits to take
effect.
