Movies

The Movies tab lets you set rating limits based on the MPAA rating system. Use the up and down arrows to highlight the highest rating you want to be able to view. Press SELECT to set that rating as the highest allowable on the DIRECTV® Receiver.

For example, 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 by highlighting the rating status button corresponding to PG-13 and pressing SELECT.
