• Youth group – TV-Y, TV-Y7
• Main group – TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA
Within each of these groups, the ratings interact such that if you block a particular level of content, the TV also blocks
all content with a higher rating. Conversely, if you unblock a particular level of content, the TV also unblocks all content
with a lower rating. For example, if you block TV-PG programs, the TV also blocks TV-14 and TV-MA programs. If you
subsequently unblock TV-14 programs, TV-PG programs are also unblocked, but TV-MA programs remain blocked.
Similarly, within the main group, content types can be individually blocked. For example, you can block just coarse
language in shows with a TV-PG rating. If you do, then the TV also blocks shows with coarse language in the higher
ratings (TV-14 and TV-MA). Subsequently unblocking coarse language in TV-14 ratings does not unblock coarse
language in TV-MA programs, but it does unblock coarse language in TV- PG programs.
To block TV shows based on US television ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to Antenna TV > TV ratings. Choose among the following settings:
• Entire ratings – Highlight the rating you want to block, and then navigate to the right and select the first
option that blocks the entire rating level (and all higher rating levels).
• Individual content types – Highlight the rating that contains the content type you want to block, and then
select the content types you want to block from among those listed. Remember that blocking a content
type in one rating blocks the equivalent content type in all higher rating levels.
Blocking based on US movie ratings
Most movies in the US are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, so the ratings are known as
MPAA ratings. TV broadcast signals carry movie rating data that enables parental controls to block shows that parents
don't want others to see. The ratings are:
• G – General audiences
• PG – Parental guidance suggested
• PG-13 – Parents strongly cautioned for children age 13 or younger
• R – Restricted
• NC-17 – Not for age 17 or younger
Unlike US TV ratings, there are no individual content types within the ratings. But like TV ratings, blocking movies with
a particular rating also blocks movies with a higher rating, and unblocking movies with a particular rating also unblocks
movies with a lower rating.
Tip: Blocking movies with an NC-17 rating also blocks programs with the now-obsolete X rating, which can
still occur in the program data of older movies.
To block movies based on MPAA ratings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
