Can cable customers block specific programs, without blocking a whole channel?
Most digital set-top boxes allow you to block individual programs or movies based on their TV or movie rating. Cable ready television sets equipped with a V-Chip also provide an opportunity to block certain programs. All television sets with screens 13 inches or larger sold after January 2000 roughly 100 million to date contain V-Chip technology (see more information below). Earlier television sets and analog set-top boxes may not offer the ability to block certain programs.
