Using On-Screen Menus

Important

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

After you lock the system, you need to enter the system password to edit the limits. See “Locking the System,” later in this section, for details.

Setting the Rating Limit

The Rating Limit menu enables you to set a maximum rating viewing limit for rated movies (based on the MPAA rating system) and TV programs. Unrated movies and TV programs can also be restricted from individual profiles.

1.In the Profiles menu, select Rating Limits.

2.Highlight the desired rating feature to set (Movie Ratings, TV ratings, or Not Rated Events).

3.Press the remote control’s OK button.

4.Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the rating selector to the highest rating you want the active profile to view.

Notes: In the TV Ratings menu, you can customize aspects of certain ratings. For example, the TV-14 rating has four check boxes beside it. Each of these boxes can be checked or unchecked for greater customizing.

The boxes beside certain TV ratings boxes stand for Fantasy Violence (FV), Dialogue/Adult Situations (D), Language (L), Sex (S), and Violence (V).

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 your limit.

Viewing Hours

Use the Viewing Hours option to limit the total amount of time, as well as the time of day, that a user can watch programming.

1.In the Profiles menu, select Viewing Hours.

2.Use the digits on the remote control or point to the + or – buttons and press OK to complete the on-screen sentence. Choose the days to view, how many hours can be viewed each day (0–24 hours) and when programming can be viewed. Be sure to lock the system for these limits to take effect.

Setting Up Spending Limits

Select the Spending Limit option to indicate a per-event and/or a monthly spending limit for Pay Per View programs.

1.Point to Spending Limit, and press OK.

2.Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter a single-program spending limit and a monthly spending limit (if desired).

3.When all fields are set up correctly, the satellite receiver returns to the previous display.

Note: After Spending Limits are set and the system is locked, the system password will be required to purchase a Pay Per View program that costs more than the set Spending Limits allow.
