TV Guardian

[DaJudge]

My mother in law bought one of the WalMart DVD guardians, and it doesn't work worth a flip. We noticed that it was bleeping out half of the movie we were watching (which was a pretty clean movie with few cuss words). So the test it, we put in my niece's Cinderella 2 DVD (which of course has no profanity at all in it), and the stupid thing bleeped half of it out, too!!! Finally we got fed up with the thing and turned the guardian feature off altogether.

Oh, and about Sinbad, did you guys know that his Dad is a preacher. I heard that's why he doesn't cuss, because he doesn't want to disappoint his Dad. We went to see him in concert and he was just hilarious.

I can never remember to buy one... but always slap myself when we do briefly turn to network TV channel (with kids) say for some odd thing advertised - we mostly keep on Discovery (gotta watch out for the biker shows!), TLC, HGTV, FoxNews - because it blows our minds just how ugly the commercials even are, forget the horrible programming. I'm hearing it doesn't filter these.

Creating 30 secs. commercials myself... it takes no talent to do crude or vulgar.

Maybe I'm out of touch. If so, I'll stay that way.

Judge,

Could it be that you have it on strictest setting? Our Guardian has various settings. When placed on strictest setting, it will actually make it virtually impossible to follow even a sermon with closed captioning. On strictest setting, commonly used words such as Jesus, God, ball, and stink can be bleeped due to the fact that they can be used in curse slang, etc.... We have always enjoyed the Guardian. If you have the option to change settings, place it on the moderate setting.

There is another product that I recently discovered that allows you to cut out foul language, gore, and sex. You can pick one, two, or all three of these items. It is not based on closed captioning. It is software based. You can go to www.clearplay.com for more information.

Have you tried the Clear Play System?

We have protecttv. It is just like the guardian. Our State Overseer allowed a salesman to sell them at our State Convention. I bought them for every home my children visit. My mom and dad do not have children at home anymore, but my dad tells everyone they need a cuss box
You can purchase one at protecttv.com. It is a little cheaper than the guardian.

I just attempted to look up protectv and they have gone out of business. That is so sad to me. It was only $35 compared to the guardian's price of $99. Oh well, everyone needs a cuss box (that is what my dad calls it.)
