Playboy banner

[ejb1980]

I have the parental controls on my receiver set to "hide adult," always have... yet now I see one of those fancy picture banners for Playboy TV. Um.. that seems to defeat the purpose. It appears between channels 555 and 558. I don't know how to get rid of it. Is there a way to get rid of it?

Is your guide set to all channels or Channels I get? Channels I get will probably not display those channels and banners.

 

[Mr Tony]

nope even a favorites shows those banners. But the banner has to be between channels you sub to. I dont get those PPV ones in the 100's but there is a spot in the guide its
channel
banner
2 channels
banner

sometimes I wish I didnt hook up the ethernet to my HR34 when I moved...didnt have them then

TRY TAKING 555 OUT OF YOUR FAVORITES


Didn't work

 

[ejb1980]

Yeah, it appears on on all 4 lists.

i got that banner in my guide also, and i got none adult channels in my favorite channels, my best is call DirecTV and compliant! maybe DirecTV will take it out, i read about someone that did a few week ago

 

[Mr Tony]

I dont show it in my favorites guide....but then again the only 500 channel I get is 559 (IFC)

 

[ejb1980]

I have Starz, TMC, Encore, and HD Extra in the 500s.

Geesh, it doesn't show a thing female body parts wise. Not even good for getting the imagination going or raising questions. So if it bothers you all that much use the parental controls to make the channel non functional even if it is gone to. I don't see a thing in that banner that would harm a 2 year old. Trust me, being a retired middle school teacher, any school age child from kindergarten through high school has seen naked pictures from the real Play Boy Magazine (LOL, National Geographic is always a big favorite too) even if you don't think so. You would not believe what gets passed around at school these days, if not in hardcopy then it is on a cell phone or tablet. You can't raise your children in a bubble. The best you can do is to teach them your family and religious values and hope it sticks with them. For a while, one of the intermediate districts for one of the school districts I taught at, tried to ban so called "objectionable" web sites from the district internet service. It was a never ending battle, and they finally gave up, as the students knew more about technology than the adults did and always figured out a way around the blocks. Bottom line is they are going to see the stuff whether it is in your home or not so the best thing to do is teach them ahead of time what you feel is acceptable . You can't be with them 24/7.

The point is that adult is blocked. This shouldn't be happening. I have done, as you say, always used the filters, and it's still there. You're right, nothing specific or overly harmful is shown in the banner, but I don't think my special lady friend would be pleased if she saw it. Adult is blocked, it shouldn't be there, regardless of anyone's personal level of offense or non-offense to the porn channels.

Agree, Directv needs to stop with the PPV banners and Playboy nonsence.

If I want to upgrade or spend my money on it , I'll find it don't need any help.
