What happens when a TV show is blocked?
After you've set up parental controls, TV shows and movies can be blocked:
• When you change channels and the new channel is playing a program whose rating exceeds your settings.
• When a new show comes on the channel you are watching and its rating exceeds your settings.
When a program is blocked by parental control settings, your Sharp Roku TV displays a blocked message:
Whenever this blocked message appears, both the video and audio of the show are blocked, as well as program data that
would normally appear in the area at the bottom of the screen.
To watch the blocked program, you need to know the PIN code defined when you enabled parental controls, as explained in

After unblocking shows that have been blocked, all blocking is disabled for two hours or until you turn off your Sharp Roku
TV.
