General Operation
To block channels you don't want your kids to watch, you can filter them with the ratings

TV. For regular TV sitcoms or series you can use USTV settings. USTV settings lets
you filter what content you want each age level, TV-Y, to TV-MA (refer to definitions

on each age limit by high lighting the corresponding column and press ENTER. You
can unblock by re-pressing the ENTER button at the same location. After you have
finished setting ratings up, press MENU to exit.
