Have you ever experienced the frustration of trying to watch a PG-rated movie or television programme on your DStv Explora only to find that it is blocked? Well, you are not alone. Many people encounter this issue and are clueless as to how to access their desired content. This article explains everything you need to know about unblocking PG blocked content on your DStv Explora.
Understanding PG Block on DStv Explora
The Parental Guidance (PG) block on DStv Explora is a feature designed to restrict minors from accessing inappropriate content. When activated, the feature blocks all programming with a rating that exceeds the age restriction set by the account holder.
To unblock PG restricted content on your DStv Explora, parental control settings must be adjusted, and a PIN must be inputted. The PIN ensures that minors do not bypass parental control settings and access inappropriate content. With that said, let us explore how to unblock PG content on the DStv Explora.
Steps to Unblock PG Blocked on DStv Explora
Step 1: Locate and Access Parental Control Settings
The first step in unblocking PG restricted content is accessing parental control settings on DStv Explora. To do this, follow these steps:
- Press the “DStv” button on the remote control
- Navigate to “Settings” and press okay
- Select “Parental Control” and press okay
Step 2: Enter Your PIN
A prompt requiring you to input your PIN will appear upon selecting Parental Control. Enter your PIN and press okay. This step confirms that the person attempting to make adjustments to parental control settings is authorized to do so. If you have not created a PIN, you cannot make changes to the settings.
Step 3: Adjust the PG Restriction Settings
Upon inputting the correct PIN, you can now access and adjust parental control settings. To remove PG blocked content from your DStv Explora, follow the steps below:
- Select “Content Settings” and press okay
- Select “PG Restriction”
- Toggle the PG restriction settings off (located under “Rating”).
It is important to note that unblocking PG restricted content exposes minors to inappropriate content. Keep this in mind when making changes to parental control settings.
The Bottom Line
The Parental Guidance (PG) Block on DStv Explora is an essential feature that restricts minors from accessing inappropriate content. However, it is easy to unblock PG content by simply following the steps outlined above. Keep in mind that unblocking PG restricted content does not mean that minors should access the content. Parental guidance is still necessary.
