Activated by a PIN number, you can set Parental Controls on your TV
and/or cable set-top box to control the programs that can be viewed on
your TV. There are three ways to block programs:
The V-Chip understands television program ratings and blocks programs
based upon the rating level selected. All TV sets that are 13 inches or
larger are required to incorporate the V-Chip technology. Parents set
rating levels so that certain TV shows need a password to be viewed.
For more information on the V-Chip and program ratings visit the FCC V-Chip site.
Several cable and satellite companies offer parental control options.
They allow specific channels to be blocked so that they cannot be
viewed.These companies also offer the ability to block shows based on
language, violence, nudity, and rating levels. This offers more
flexibility than the V-Chip.
Hope it helps ;-)
