Using the Remote Control Buttons

The  play,  stop,  pause,  fast forward, and  rewind buttons are used to control Video On Demand playback. Here’s what these buttons do:

• Play: Resumes playback of a paused movie.
• Stop: Stops movie playback. You can resume your movie at the exact same place by selecting the movie in the My Rentals menu.
• Pause: Pauses movie playback. If you need to stop playback for only a few minutes, use this button instead of stop. Like a VCR, a Video On Demand selection will not remain paused forever. After about 10 minutes, the movie will automatically stop.
• Rewind: Skip back two minutes.
• Fast Forward: Skip forward two minutes.

Setting Parental Controls

Northwestel gives you complete control over what your family watches. By locking your Digital TV receiver, you can prevent movies and television programs with certain content ratings from being ordered and can even set-up your receiver to not show adult programs on your channel guide.

Follow these steps to set Parental Control on your Digital TV Receiver:

1. Select the MENU button on your Digital TV receiver’s remote control.
2. Use the left or right arrows buttons to highlight the Parental Controls button. Press the OK button.
3. A pop-up window will appear requesting you to set and confirm a 4-digit PIN.
4. The Locks Setup menu will appear. Select either Movie Rating Locks and/or Adult Titles.
   Movie Rating Locks: will require your 4-digit PIN each time you attempt to order or view a program with a lock set.
   Adult Titles: will simply show or hide any adult rated titles available.
5. Use the left and right arrow buttons to scroll through your options and hit the OK button to confirm your choice.
