Parental Control inappropriate for Australian use

[IanSav]

The T3 Parental Control interface appears to be targeted at allowing or blocking services and/or bouquets rather than applying blocks based on the rating of the program currently being broadcast on an LCN.

All Australian LCNs broadcast a range of content that at times may or may not be appropriate for children. Simply applying a broad range service or bouquet block is not appropriate here.

Reproduction steps

# From live TV press MENU > Setup > TV > Parental Control # Set "Enable parental control" to ON # Set "Protect services" to ON # Note that program ratings are not mentioned. Once a service or bouquet is selected the entire service or bouquet is locked / protected.

Also changes in this menu happen live, i.e. the OK is not required to save them. This is different to all other T3 menu operation.
