Block No unrated programs are available.
"Unrated" TV programs may include news, sports, political, religious, local,
and weather programs, and public announcements. Also, the first few
seconds of a channel with rated programming may be blocked (due to a
brief delay in transmission of the rating information).

for five seconds. Using this password, you can then access the Vchip
