Not terrestrial? No problem. Use your satellite service parental controls to block unwanted programming by channel, restrict programming using the TV Ratings, establish spending limits on pay-per-view purchases, and limit television viewing hours.

Grab your remotes, satellite customers! Using parental controls is easy.

DIRECTV

• Follow the easy-to-understand on-screen directions.
• Select "Lock Now" and you will be asked for a personal identification number (PIN).
• After setting up, you will need to enter your PIN to access restricted programming.

DISH Network

• Press the "Menu" button on your remote to access the Parental Controls and System Locks feature.
