Parental Control
At Lake Las Vegas Communications, we're committed to providing you more choice and control over what you and your family watch on TV. From the widest programming choices to the best education on how to make smart decisions about children's use of media, we provide parents with tools to manage the content that comes into their homes.
Digital Cable
Our digital set-top boxes come equipped with Parental Control features. Subscribers can go through an easy on-screen progression of prompts and commands to set up limits on what members of their households can watch - based on a variety of factors including program ratings, channels, times and dates, or even the type of content. To learn how to activate these features, refer to page 19 of the Explorer 8300HDC User’s Guide.
Non-Digital Cable Customers
Another method used for blocking channels to homes without Digital Cable is an electronic filter that "traps" out a particular channel. This filter is physically installed on the cable equipment outside the home and provides complete blocking of the specific channel until the device is removed. Please contact us to learn more about this solution.
V-Chip Technology
"Cable ready" television sets equipped with a V-Chip also provide an opportunity to block certain programs. All television sets with screens 13 inches or larger sold after January 2000 contain V-Chip technology.
TV Rating System
TV Parental Guidelines is a voluntary rating system designed to give parents information about the content of TV programs. This system provides parents with information about the content and age-appropriateness of TV programs. For more details, view a full description of these guidelines.
