[V112]Violence On Tv And Children
by Kaptain Dave, Kap
In today's world of television I would not dare leave my children alone in front of the TV, much less with the remote! As the years have gone by it seems that nearly every channel has violent, obscene, vulgar shows being aired, and half the channels airing children's shows can go from a good wholesome show to some insane movie that would not be for their innocent eyes. It had gotten to the point where I no longer even had cable or any form of TV and all I would do is go and buy the movies and shows that were of good quality for my children. Yet, as you could imagine, that got expensive, and fast. So, I began looking into other options and I found the best solution I could have ever imagined, Direct TV!

Direct TV has everything that you need to regulate the shows that appear on your television for your children�s viewing pleasure. Direct TV is great with its DVR ( Digital Video Recorder) and TiVo combination. The Digital Video Recorder allows you to record over 70 hours ( with the basic package ) of their favorite movies and cartoons while they are at school or doing their chores, no more crying over missing their favorite cartoon saves you hours of headaches. Another great addition is with the TiVo, which also limits the amount of crying that goes on, for when its dinner time you can just pause their show and when dinners over they can pick up where they left off. Yet, you can also pause, rewind, or even fast forward through commercials when you are watching your shows and the little ones need help with a sandwich or start fighting over �who had the toy first. The next best thing about Direct TV with its DVR and TiVo is that you can set which shows can and cannot be accessed so if your children are at home with a babysitter and your am at work you do not have to worry about one of the kids picking up the remote and seeing some gory, violent action movie. Direct TV has made the TV in a home with children safe and returned it to good wholesome cartoons and movies it should be.

Along with the amazing DVR and TiVo settings you can also have HD ( High Definition) television with 195 show packed channels. High Definition makes watching TV a whole new experience with brighter more vivid colors and crystal clear images. You can also record over 30 hours of HD television and 200 hours of normal show time. Also to make it easy for the hustle and bustle of a child filled home Direct TV offers a FREE professional installation, FREE 4 bedroom set up, and the equipment for Direct TV is also FREE, so you do not have to worry about outrageous set up prices and frustrating, confusing installations.

Direct TV Satellite really is the family TV provider with its great 24/7 customer service, great prices, FREE professional installation, FREE 4 bedroom set up, FREE equipment, DVR, High Definition Television, and TiVo which helps filter out all the filth!

When flipping through the channels on my television I am constantly coming across programs I would never want my children to see.  At the same time, I am constantly seeing programs that I would love for my children to see.  The question is,  “How could I leave them alone to watch the good shows without worrying they will turn to the bad ones?”  Thanks to advances in technology, DirecTV now has the answer to that question, and parents everywhere are rejoicing.
Parental Controls=Peace Of Mind
Satellite Television provider, DirecTV, offers a free service to every one of its 15 million customers.  It is called Parental Controls and parents everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief because of it.  Through this Parental Controls feature, you can take complete control over what your child can watch and leave them unsupervised while you take care of all the daily tasks that are constantly calling.  Using it easy.  By selecting a PIN (Personal Identification Number), you can lock out shows or movies according to the rating they are given.  Every show and movie is now required to have a rating (just like movies) in order to help parents know what is appropriate for their kids to watch.  This feature also allows you to lock out entire channels that you may feel has content or messages your child should not be exposed to.  Don’t worry, though.  These shows and channels are not locked up forever so no one can see them.  In order to watch them, you only need to punch in the PIN number.  The chosen PIN number is known only by the parents and the other family members they choose to share it with.
Other Features Of Parental Controls
Blocking shows, movies, and channels is not the only function this feature offers.  You can also use it to set limited viewing times.  Once the viewing time period is up, the PIN is required to continue watching.  This keeps kids from spending all of their time in front of the television when there may be homework or chores that need to be done.  Besides setting limited viewing times, you can also set a spending limit on Pay-Per-View purchases. The worry of many parents is that the monthly bill will arrive with hundreds of dollars in unauthorized purchases of Pay-Per-View Content.  Thanks to Direct TV that is no longer a concern.  Don’t forget that the lock placed on programs according to their rating extends to the Adult Entertainment available on Pay-Per-View.
Easy-To-Understand Instructions
If you thought the Parental Controls feature would be difficult to set up, then you are wrong.  There are easy-to-understand on-screen directions that take you through the entire process.  Even if you did have problems, Direct TV offers other ways to help.  Tune into Channel 201 and learn how to set it up.  If that doesn’t work for you, then go to directv.com and check out the Video Lounge which offers streaming video that gives an example of the entire process.  Never forget that you also can call Direct TV customer service at any time of the day to get help with this or any other question you may have.
