Select Ratings to Block by Default
Introduction
The Block Programs Rated option allows the cable service provider to automatically
block programs with a certain rating during staging. This option only appears in the
Staging Defaults window and the Addressable Configuration window.
If you do not enable this option, then no ratings are blocked when the set-top is
If you do not enable this option, then no ratings are blocked when the set-top is
staged or installed for the first time. Subscribers must use the Block:Rating option in
the General Settings menu to set up any ratings blocks. When subscribers select a
rating that they want to block, all programs with that rating (and more restrictive
ratings) are blocked.
NR versus NR-Adult Rating
Do not confuse the NR rating with the NR-Adult rating. If you block programs that
are not rated by the data provider (programs with an NR rating), then any program
that does not have a rating, such as HGTV programs or the news, are blocked. If you
block programs with an NR-Adult rating, all programs with this rating (and more
restrictive rating)s are blocked.
Recommended Setting
Enable this option to block programs with a certain rating during the staging
process. Enter the rating that you want to block, and all programs with this rating
(and more restrictive ratings) are blocked.
