Block Recordings With Parental Control
You can keep others from watching a recording by using the Block feature. When
using this feature, keep in mind that you can block only recordings that you are
not watching. This feature is useful if children also use the DVR and you do not
want them to watch certain recordings.
Note: To block a program that is scheduled to be recorded, block the program
from the General Settings menu. (For details, see “Block Programs With
Parental Control” on page 32.) The DVR records the program, but the recording
can be watched only after entering your 4-digit Parental Blocking PIN.
