Things to do on the LIMITS screen

Max Rating

Program ratings indicate the suitability of a program’s content for a given audience. For families with younger children, a lower rating limit may be desirable. Other families may choose to allow viewing of more sophisticated programming. The LIMITS screen leaves this choice and control up to you.

Highlight the Max Ratings button and press

to display the

MAX RATING pop-up menu where you set the limit. When the

system is locked, the passcode will be needed to change the ratings

limit.

 

 

Highlight to the highest allowable rating for your family. When you

press

all ratings up to and including the chosen rating will be

checked. All higher ratings will be cleared. You may choose to Lock

The RATING pop-up panel

All or Allow All instead of setting a specific limit.

 

For the rating limit to be enforced, the digital satellite receiver must be locked. Locking is described earlier in this chapter.

Max Spending

PPV access enables you to purchase special, limited-broadcast events such as sporting events and movies. You can set the amount of money that can be spent on a per-event basis. To change the

displayed limit, highlight the Max Spending button and press to display the SPENDING LIMIT pop-up panel where you set the limit. When the system is locked, the passcode will be needed to change the ratings limit.

Use the number keys on the remote control to set the limit or use the and keys to increase or decrease each digit. Use the and keys to highlight the digit that you want to change. The maximum

limit is $655.

Highlight OK and press to confirm the entered amount. Selecting Cancel will leave the spending limit unchanged.

For the spending limit to be enforced, the digital satellite receiver must be locked. Locking is described earlier in this chapter.

Channel Lists

Channel Lists are provided to help you organize the hundreds of available channels into groupings that are more appropriate for your household. Each list can contain as many or as few channels as you would like. You can customize these groupings in a variety of ways. For example, Fav. A could be Dad’s favorite channels, Fav. B could be Mom’s favorites, Fav. C could be the kids’ channels, and Family could be all channels that Mom and Dad have deemed appropriate for the entire family. Each of the lists, with the exception of Family can be renamed.

NOTE: If locking the receiver, only channels included in the Family list will be accessible. If the Family list has not had channels added to it, no channels can be viewed without first

unlocking the receiver. To avoid this inconvenience, set up the

The CHANNEL LISTS setup screenFamily list to include all channels or those channels that you deem acceptable. Locking is described earlier in this chapter.
