DIRECTV Messages

This feature lets you view a listing of current DIRECTV messages waiting for you. Simply highlight and select a message in the list to read, then you’ll have the choice to keep or delete it. The messages icon will appear brightly on your channel banner whenever there’s any new or unread message in your Inbox.

Parental Controls

Parental Controls enables parents to place certain restrictions on just who’s watching what, and require a passcode to view restricted programming. Whether it’s for mature content or spending amounts, you’re always able to keep limitations where you want them for the whole family.

Press MENU to display the Quick Menu, SELECT Parental Controls, then Edit Settings, and you’ll see the current status showing any restrictions. The system default is “unlocked” for all categories.

Ratings

Here you can set rating limits for Movies and TV:

1)SELECT Ratings.

2)Highlight the desired tab using the ARROW keys and press SELECT. Note: You can also use RED or GREEN to cycle tabs.

Movies

Highlight and select the Movies tab, then set the overall rating limit you wish to impose. Brief descriptions of the ratings appear for your guidance.
