IMPORTANT THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1
How it works - TVGuardian(tm) uses TVG(r) technology licensed from Principle Solutions,
Inc. to decode and monitor the hidden closed-caption text which is made available for the
hearing impaired. Each word is checked against a dictionary of offensive words and
phrases. When an offensive word is detected, the TVG technology automatically mutes the
sound, and turns the sound back on when the phrase is completed.
2
The phrase (multiple words) containing the offensive word is muted.
3
The center position of the closed-caption switch (diagram E, #2) displays on your TV screen
a rewritten, profanity-free text version of the muted offensive phrase. When the phrase is
completed, the text is erased and the sound is turned back on.

Live programming (news, sporting events, talk shows, soap operas) are not filtered.
6
Filter Status Notice - displayed in lower left corner of TV screen for two seconds after
turning the channel, at the beginning of a new TV program or commercial, or at the
beginning of a video movie:
TVG - Program is filtered
NO TVG - Program is not filtered
7
If using a satellite receiver such as DirectTV, PrimeStar, DishNetwork, or EchoStar, CFTV
may not detect a channel change, and therefore, TVG or NO TVG may not be displayed
when you change the channel, although TVGuardian is still functioning.
8
To redisplay the Filter Status Notice, simply turn off your VCR and turn it back on again, or
turn the channel and then turn the channel back to the original program. Either TVG or NO
TVG should redisplay.
9
95% Average Accuracy on 'TVG' filtered programs. TVGuardian can only be as accurate
as the closed-captioning. It filters 100% on many TV programs and movies, however, if the
closed-captioning is inaccurate on a particular show, TVGuardian will be inaccurate on that
show.
10
Foul words that are normally filtered are missed when closed-captioning errors exist (i.e. a
foul word is not captioned or is not syncronized with the spoken word).
11
The Moderate/Religious Content Filter setting allows the following words that would normally
be filtered in the Strict setting: Oh, God; My, God; God; Jesus; Christ; sucks; crap; butt;
hell; balls; forms of Screw; turd; wuss.
