I see there is a password that can be enabled to watch shows. How about 
changing it so a password is required for a particular tv rating and 
above. I use this feature on my Tivo all the time so my kids can't watch 
anything TV-14 and above. If the show is not rated it will assume it is 
protected. It also works the same way for live tv. If a show comes on 
the currently viewed channel it will show a rating warning at the bottom 
of the screen and require you to press Select then enter the 4 digit 
password to view it. Once a password is entered you can view / watch any 
live or recorded show. After 4 hours of no activity it will require the 
password again if the show is above the set rating.
