How can basic cable (analog) customers with a set-top box block a cable channel from being viewed?
Most advanced analog boxes have the ability to block user-selected channels. To block a channel, you create a PIN code using the set-top boxs remote control or keypad. Other users who then view programs through that cable box cannot view the blocked channel(s) or change the selected controls without entering the PIN password. An alternative method that some cable companies use for blocking analog channels is an electronic filter that traps out a particular channel. This filter is physically installed on the cable equipment outside your home and provides complete blocking of the channel until the device is removed.
