Themes
You can block programs
based on their content.
(Content
is
represented
by the D, L, S, V, and FV on your screen. See the

theme for a particular
rating, you automatically
block that

theme for higher rated programs
as well.
For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs
that have adult language
(L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you
could block out all programming
TV-PG and above containing
adult language.

child to watch.
