Parental Controls

The parental controls feature sets a password for access to specific channels. This will pre- vent access to these locked channels until the password is entered. (Figure 20)

No details about the current content of a locked channel will be displayed. When you attempt to access a locked channel, you will be prompted to enter your password before you can proceed. (Figure 21) The parental control feature is accessed through the Settings menu, as described in Parental Controls on page 56.

Hiding channels and genres, as described in the next section, can be an alternative to locking channels.

Hide Channels and Genres

The hide feature allows you to designate channels and genres to not be displayed when browsing channel and genre lists. The hide feature differs from the parental control lock feature in that a locked channel will be displayed while browsing a list (but is password pro- tected), while a hidden channel will never appear in a list.

Hidden channels are not locked, but can only be tuned by directly entering the channel number using the numeric keypad on the remote control when the Stiletto 10 is in a docking station. The hide feature is accessed through the Settings menu, as described in Channels on page 53.
