Blocking and Unblocking Content by Rating
A channel may sometimes broadcast programs that are meant for
children, and at other times broadcast programs that are meant
for mature audiences. You may not want to block the channel
completely using a channel lock, but you may wish to block certain
programs from being viewed.
When this is the case, you can use the TV’s Rating Block feature to
block content based on its rating.
