About IPAA Rating:
The Motion Picture Association of America(MPAA) uses a rating system to qualify motion picture content. Television broadcasters employ a rating system to qualify the content of televison programs as well.
The MPAA and TV ratings work with the V=CHIP feature and allow you to block out programming above the rating limits you determine.
