When the V-Chip sot_ware is activated (or turned on), it reads a code that most
broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the software the program's
age-based rating (TV-MA, "1W-14,etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult
Language (L), etc.)[ If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that
the program contains, a message appears and the channel won't be available for
viewing.
Broadcasters aren't required to provide content themes, so programs that aren't
tagged with a content theme can only be blocked if you block their age-based
