Parents take control of the content that your children are exposed to even when you are not there to supervise.Parental Control gives you the power to decide what content is appropriate for your children, and easily control what they watch — even when you’re not around. In 2003, we issued the Children’s Code for Programming which stipulates that cable service providers should provide ratings for content that is being broadcast. Use the Parental Control on your cable box to block programs by channel, title, ratings, or time and date.
