Parental Controls (DTV)
Parental Control ratings determine accessible DTV programs. The Hargray system
blocks restricted programs from being viewed and/or displayed in the Guide, according
to preset parental control settings.
Parental Guidelines for television programs contain two parts: an age-based rating in-
dicating the age group for which a particular program is designed, and a content-based
rating indicating program material. Some key letters and definitions found in TV ratings
include:
V
Violence
S
Sexual Conditions
L
Coarse or crude indecent language
D
Suggestive dialog
FV
Fantasy violence
