Question:

What are Parental Controls for TV?

Answer:

Parental Controls allow you to limit the programs that can be viewed on your TV so you can make sure your family doesn't watch anything you don't want them to. Before using Parental Controls you have to set up your blocking preferences. You can block programs five different ways:

  • By Channel
  • By Content
  • By Rating
  • By Time
  • By Title
