He can then scroll using the right arrow and select Parental Control, access Parental Levels and then choose the appropriate PG Rating. Selecting Family or PG13 will block an event rated 16 and above. He can then select accept these settings and press `Exit’ to go back to normal viewing” she said.
Oghuma also noted that subscribers who may not be interested in watching the reality show can opt out of viewing the programme during its duration. “To do so, all the subscriber needs to do is to text “NO” and the first 10 digits of his smartcard number to 30333. Normal SMS charges apply” she said.
