Block Titles of Blocked Programs
Introduction
The Block Titles of Blocked Programs option allows subscribers to prevent the titles
of programs that have been blocked by the Parental Control feature from showing in
the IPG. Instead, “Title Blocked” displays for the program title. For Digital Video
Recorders (DVRs) and DVRs with built-in DVD players, the SARA client prevents
the title of any recordings that have been blocked by the Parental Control feature
from showing in the Recorded List, Scheduled Recordings, and Recorded Program
Options screens as well. Instead, "Title Blocked" displays for the title of the
recording.
Recommended Setting
The default setting for this feature is disabled. When you disable this feature, set-
tops show the titles of programs that are blocked by the Parental Control feature.
When you enable this feature, set-tops display “Title Blocked” for programs that are
blocked by the Parental Control feature. We recommend that you enable this feature
to prevent the titles of material intended for a mature audience from being
displayed.
