-- default rating of "NR" instead of "no rating" (http://archive.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?threadid=116065)

parental control options

Having a default so that unrated programs would be restricted by parental controls, if any, is a great idea.

In addition, it would be helpful to have an option to activate parental controls for any program/Season Pass, regardless of its rating, whenever setting it up to record. Likewise, it would be helpful to activate parental controls after a program is recorded because some episodes are less benign than others.

Some programs that record in the wee hours of the night are themselves OK for older kids, but the commercials they contain are for datelines, chatlines, lingerie stores, and risque videos. So it's the commercials rather than the program rating that make me want to restrict them.
