V-Chip (US only) The Telecommunications Act of 1996 in USA requires that every television made, starting in 1998, must be equipped with the technological device named V-Chip. The V-Chip can block certain rated television shows off television (if chosen) so children cannot watch programs that their parents do not approve. With this device, program-rating information will be transmitted along with the television signal, and be decoded by the chip in each television. The chip will then compare the rating codes to values preset by the viewer, which is meant to be the parents. If the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal will be blocked, and a blank screen will be displayed. 23
