Setting the Rating Limit

The Rating Limit menu enables you to set a maximum rating viewing limit for
rated movies (based on the MPAA rating system) and TV programs. Unrated
movies and TV programs can also be restricted from individual profiles.
1. In the Profiles menu, select Rating Limits.
2. Highlight the desired rating feature to set (Movie Ratings, TV ratings, or Not
Rated Events).
3. Press the remote control's OK button.
4. Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the rating selector to the
highest rating you want the active profile to view.
Notes: In the TV Ratings menu, you can customize aspects of certain ratings.
For example, the TV-14 rating has four check boxes beside it. Each of these
boxes can be checked or unchecked for greater customizing.
The boxes beside certain TV ratings boxes stand for Fantasy Violence (FV),
Dialogue/Adult Situations (D), Language (L), Sex (S), and Violence (V).
After the Rating Limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter the system
password to watch programs with a rating higher than your limit.

Viewing Hours

Use the Viewing Hours option to limit the total amount of time, as well as the
time of day, that a user can watch programming.
1. In the Profiles menu, select Viewing Hours.
2. Use the digits on the remote control or point to the + or – buttons and press
OK to complete the on-screen sentence. Choose the days to view, how
many hours can be viewed each day (0–24 hours) and when programming
can be viewed. Be sure to lock the system for these limits to take effect.

Setting Up Spending Limits

Select the Spending Limit option to indicate a per-event and/or a monthly
spending limit for Pay Per View programs.
1. Point to Spending Limit, and press OK.
2. Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter a single-program
spending limit and a monthly spending limit (if desired).
3. When all fields are set up correctly, the satellite receiver returns to the
previous display.
Note: After Spending Limits are set and the system is locked, the system
password will be required to purchase a Pay Per View program that costs
more than the set Spending Limits allow.
