Movie Channels And Parental Controls From DirecTV

By: David Johnson


The Movie Channels

DirecTV is proud to offer the most popular modern movie channels available through a satellite television provider today. DirecTV actually offers channel packages (or programming packages) that include some or all of these popular channels. Some of the channels included (that you most likely have heard of and or already want to see in your home) are Starz, HBO, Cinemax, and Sho Time. With DirecTV you will most likely find that the movie channels are more affordable than anywhere else. If you feel the need, take a look at the other satellite TV providers that are available. It is possible that you may find a satellite TV provider that has a more affordable deal on one aspect of the whole set up. However, keep in mind that the whole set up will be less expensive with DirecTV and with DirecTV's 24 hour a day, 7 days a week customer service hot line and website you just can't go wrong. This of course is another brief summary with a few more details about the movie channels themselves, let's now take a look at another one of DirecTV's great features:

Parental Controls

One major concern for most young families that own and view a television is the gratuitous violence and sex that have become prevalent in modern TV shows. It is very difficult to avoid this content and in many cases it can be very damaging to a young child if he or she catches eye or ear of it. DirecTV has taken this into consideration and developed parental controls that are easy to use and extremely reliable. One great aspect of the parental controls offered by DirecTV is the password protection. A major problem of certain types of parental controls in the past, were their flimsy protection. Since most children of today seem to be naturally proficient in all things technological (and of course most parents have no natural inclination for technology at all) it has been fairly easy in the past for the parent to overlook an important factor and for the children to be able to use that to their advantage. Although advantage is probably not a good term to use, in these cases children obviously have no idea of the potential negative effect being subjected to this type of content at a such a young age can have. DirecTV's parental controls offer all kinds of options as well. One great feature of the parental controls offered by DirecTV is the ability to lock out entire channels at certain times of the day. You can also lock the channel out permanently (or at least until you change it back and unlock it) if it never has any programs of merit, and you will never have to worry about your child being subjected to the gratuitous content that the channel offers. This way, you will be able to block any channel that could have content riddled shows at least until you are able to view the program with your child. These are just a few features of the parental controls offered by DirecTV. If your child viewing content on television is a concern of yours and you do not already have DirecTV, take a closer look at the parental controls offered. You will be glad you did.
