Blocking TVMA content only(not channel)

I am looking to block TVMA and othe contents which has some kind of nudity. The idea is to not block the whole channel but only to ensure that any channel which is broadcasting any movie which has tvma stuff or nudity, will not be accessible.

I know there are various ways to block the channel and put restriction, but my goal is to not block the whole cinemax or showtime channel which shows those kind of movies. I only want the block message to appear when there is some nude content.

The reason is that whenever we are scrolling through the channels, I do not want the nude content to appear on the tv.

Activate the parental controls. You need to create a pin for them to work so do not create a simple one like 1234. Press menu on the remote then settings then system then parental/purchase which will take you to them where you will have an option for parental preferences that will take you to adult information once you scroll down the list. Choose hide adult info which will then do away with all listings for things that are x rated or mature where what you will see on the tv guide is a listing for "blocked title." This of course will not do away with the ability for someone to access cinemax, showtime, hbo so that content could still be accessed so in order to do away with that content which on the movie channels is bound to have some images that people may not like you will have to block that content by going to the parental controls by pressing menu then settings then system then parental.purchase then scroll down to parental preferences then block by content rating. Click on checkable ratings then scroll down all the way to x or mature or whatever other rating you want to block. I want to caution you though that the parental controls are pretty strong so when you activate them you may block your from seeing some movies or shows that you have have wanted to watch but because the parental controls are so strong they blocked you from seeing it. A lot of parents are concerned about the content on tv so they seek to block it but what they often miss is that on the internet those children can see a lot worse things that even some adults may not be able to tolerate.

Hey mate, thanks for this information. It will help me figure out things easily.

Yes, I understand and agree that you can find things worse on internet. My concern is not just that some kids will try to access. I am only doing this to avoid an awkward situation where people visiting my house are playing around with the tv remote around 9-10 pm when lot of people are in the living room, and suddenly some nude clip appears on tv. We have ultimate package so with that many channel, such situation are bound to arrive and I do not want it to happen.

Thank You
