Blocking Movie ratings

If you only want your child to watch movies that have a PG rating and lower (in other words,
movies rated PG and G), then you could automatically block out all other movies with higher
ratings.

To block movies, follow the above steps used to describe blocking content themes.

Note: Some movies may be given a Not Rated (NR) rating. After blocking movie ratings, you
must set NR to Viewable separately to view NR movies.

To view movie ratings after you’ve blocked them, follow the same steps as above to make the rat-
ing Viewable (V).
