You might notice an option in your Parental control menu that wasn't there before. This is because broadcasters have the capability to add a new rating system for TV programs. These ratings let you define additional parameters for parental controls. This option and its name are dependent on the content acquired from the broadcaster.

Note: These ratings are available only if the broadcaster is sending them.
