Rating Explained
General Operation
To block channels you don’t want your children to watch, you can filter them with
the ratings function. MPAA lets you control ratings for movies. For regular TV
programs you can use USTV settings. USTV settings lets you filter what content
you want at each age level, TV-Y, to TV-MA (refer to definitions below). Below
are definitions for each setting.
