Locks & Limits provides settings to help you control the viewing restrictions of

DIRECTV® programming. When accompanied by the channel lists, these limits provide a great degree of control. The DIRECTV Receiver must be locked for the TV Timer, Rating and Spending limits to be enforced.

Locking & unlocking the system

When you first receive your satellite system, it will be unlocked; (i.e., no limits or restrictions are in effect). You must lock the system to enforce the limits (spending, ratings, TV timer, and �Family� favorite list).
Note: Once the DIRECTV Receiver is locked, only existing Family list channels will be accessible. If the Family list does not contain any channels, no channels can be viewed without first unlocking the receiver. To avoid this, verify the contents of the Family list before locking the receiver.

How to lock the system When you SELECT the Lock button, the LOCK SYSTEM pop-up panel appears.
