2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to Antenna TV > Movie ratings. Choose among the
following settings:
3. Select the rating level you want to block. You need only select one rating level, and all higher
levels are automatically blocked.
Blocking based on other ratings
Your TV can block programs having ratings that had not been defined when the TV was manufactured. It
does this by detecting a new Rating Region Table in a program and then downloading the new table and
displaying its rating in the Parental controls.
When the TV downloads a new Rating Region Table, it adds a new option to the list of rating types:
Other ratings. If you see this option in the Parental controls screen, you have tuned to a station that has
implemented a new rating table. Once the new rating table has been downloaded to the TV, it remains
in the TV until it is factory reset, and you can configure blocking based on the new ratings.
New Region Rating Tables can have independent rating levels, or rating levels that interact in the same
ways as the built-in US TV and MPAA Movie ratings.
Tip: If your TV downloads a new Region Rating Table, you’ll have to experiment with its settings
to understand how to use it.
Blocking unrated programs
Some broadcast TV shows and movies are assigned a rating of “Unrated”. Whether or not such
programs contain content that is objectionable to you cannot be determined. However, you can choose
to block such programs.
To block all unrated broadcasts:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Parental controls, and then enter your PIN.
2. In the Parental controls screen, navigate to Antenna TV > Block all unrated programs.
3. Highlight Block and press OK. When blocking is enabled, the adjacent padlock icon changed
from unlocked to locked.
Tip: Blocking programs that have been assigned a rating of “Unrated” does not block programs that
have no rating assigned to them (for example a broadcast of a local town council meeting).
Programs that do not have an assigned rating display Rating NA (for “not applicable, meaning a
rating is not needed). Programs that have no assigned rating are considered “safe”; therefore, there
is no need to block them.
