A. A grantee shall provide subscriber controlled “lock-out” devices (audio and visual) by which the subscriber can prohibit viewing of a particular cable service during the period selected by that subscriber. A grantee shall notify all subscribers in writing of the availability of these devices at the time of initial connection, and at least annually thereafter.

B. Upon request, a grantee shall, without charge, fully scramble or otherwise block the audio and video of a channel so that a nonsubscriber does not receive even a partially viewable or audible signal.

C. To the extent required by federal law, if a grantee plans to provide a premium channel without charge to a subscriber who does not subscribe to such premium channel, the grantee shall provide at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to said subscriber, and upon the subscriber’s request, shall block entirely the subscriber’s reception of said channel. For purposes of this section, a “premium channel” shall mean any pay service offered on a per channel or per program basis, including those which offer movies rated by the Motion Picture Association as X, NC-17, or R and other programming designed to be viewed by adults with a TV Parental Guidelines rating of TV-M. (Ord. 5531 § 2, 2004.)
