ARROWS to navigate. Each contains a list of program ratings or a list of channels. Use
the UP and DOWN ARROWS to navigate. Once highlighted, press OK on your remote.
When you lock a rating, all ratings for more restrictive content are also locked. For
example, if you lock the TVPG rating, then the TV14 and TVMA ratings are locked
automatically, because these ratings are for more mature audiences than TVPG.
If your TV is V‑Chip enabled, you may see a black screen after tuning to a channel with
blocked content. No Shaw menu, flip bar, sound effects, or any other audio or video are
shown or heard. To correct this, change to an unblocked channel, or disable all V‑Chip
functions and use the Parental Controls features provided by the Shaw Whole Home
HDPVR to regulate viewing.
