To block channels on DIRECTV, you can follow these steps:
1. Using the DIRECTV Remote Control:
– Press the MENU button on your remote.
– Select Settings.
– Go to Parental Controls or Restrictions (depending on your model).
– If prompted, enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you don’t have one, you’ll need to create it.

– You can now enter the specific channels you want to block or set up a filter for certain types of content.
– Save your settings.
2. Block Specific Channels:
– If you know the specific channels you want to block, go to the Channel Blocking option, and enter the channel numbers manually to restrict access.
3. Set Up Content Filters:
– You can also set content filters to block channels based on their rating or content type (e.g., PG, R, etc.).
– This can be found under the Ratings section in Parental Controls.
4. Disabling Access to Pay-Per-View Channels:
– In the same Parental Controls or Restrictions menu, you can also disable access to pay-per-view channels to prevent accidental purchases.
5. Locking or Unlocking Channels:
– You can also lock or unlock specific channels or programming that may require a PIN to view.
6. Using the DIRECTV App or Website:
– You can also manage parental controls and block channels via the DIRECTV website or mobile app by signing into your account and accessing the settings section.
By following these steps, you can block unwanted channels and set restrictions according to your preferences.
