How Do I Set Up the Parent Lock on my DirecTV Box?

There are several types of programming that DirecTV satellite TV transmits and some of these programs are not kid-friendly. This means parents or guardians may not want their children watching these programs, but how do you configure your DirecTV box to restrict certain types of programming while allowing others?

DirecTV offers a parental lock feature that allows parents to restrict the types of programming that your young ones can watch. You can choose to block certain programs or even whole channels from being viewed. There is even a time limiting feature, so that you can not only monitor what type but how much TV your Kids watch. This is accomplished through a password protected mechanism.
