Chapter 5 Features

Tip: Accessing Spending Limits

You can also set limits for all users at one location instead of accessing each profile individually by: choosing System Options from the main menu, choosing Purchases, choosing Spending Limit, and entering the limit.

Important!

You need to lock the system in order for rating limits, channel limits, and spending limits to go into effect.

To edit the limits after you lock the system, you need to enter the system password, go to page 102

Setting the DIRECTV Spending Limit

Use the Spending Limit option to indicate a profile’s per-event spending limit for Pay Per View (PPV) programs. To set the spending limit, choose the user profile name, select DIRECTV Setup, then follow these steps:

1.Highlight Spending Limit, and press OK.

2.Use the digits or the arrow buttons on the remote control to enter a single- program spending limit.

3.Lock the system. For details, go to page 102.

After a spending limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter a password to purchase a Pay Per View program that costs more than your spending limit allows. The system will then temporarily unlock the limits you have set until the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system will be locked again.

Setting the DIRECTV Rating Limit

The Set Rating Limit menu enables you to set a maximum viewing limit for rated movies (based on the Motion Pictures Association of America, MPAA, ratings system).

Note: the rating limit can’t be enforced if a program hasn’t been rated, if rating information for that program isn’t transmitted by the program provider, or if the system hasn’t been locked.

1.Select a user.

2.Select DIRECTV Setup.

3.Highlight Set Rating Limit and press OK.

4.Use the up and down arrows to move the rating selector to the highest rating you want to be able to view. In the illustration, movies that are rated up to and including a PG-13 rating can be viewed.

After the rating limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter the system password to watch programs with a rating higher than the limit. The system will then temporarily unlock the limits you have set until the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system will be locked again.
