Turn Off Parental Control for an Individual Program, Channel, or Block of
Time with Restricted Unblocking
Introduction
The Blocked Barker Allows Restricted Unblocking option lets you specify whether
subscribers can turn off Parental Control for an individual program, channel, or
block of time. The feature is referred to as restricted unblocking. If you enable
restricted unblocking and a subscriber selects a blocked channel, a blocked barker
appears with the following options:
•
•
Press A on the remote control to allow viewing of this program only.
•
Press B on the remote control to allow viewing of this channel only.
•
Press C on the remote control to allow viewing of all programs for the next 2, 4, 6,
or 8 hours.
•
Press SELECT on the remote control to turn off Parental Control for all blocks.
If disabled and a subscriber selects a blocked channel, the Blocked Barker displays
“Press SELECT on the remote control to Turn Off Parental Control.” When
subscribers turn off Parental Control, all blocking is disabled and any program
rating or channel can be viewed.
Recommended Setting
Enable this option to allow restricted unblocking.
