Block Recordings With Parental Control

You can keep others from watching a recording by using the Block feature. When using this feature, keep in mind that you can block only recordings that you are not watching. This feature is useful if children also use the Explorer DVR and you do not want them to watch certain recordings.

Note: To block a program that is scheduled to be recorded, block the program from the General Settings menu. (For details, see “Block Programs With Parental Control” on page 33.) The Explorer DVR will record the program, but the recording can be watched only after entering your 4-digit Parental Blocking PIN.
