ABSTRACT:
A TV/video viewing supervision system that enables a supervisor, typically a parent controlling children's viewing, to selectably program the hours, programs and/or channels of television, VCR, cable TV, satellite TV and/or game viewing that are allowed and/or blocked from viewing by comparing the signal source identification code embedded in the video signal with a programmed list of channels to be blocked. The system features a channel/time matrix that can be programmed with a keypad-controlled cursor of a hand-held remote unit to set up a viewing schedule for future time period, for example a coming week.
