For customers with Broadcast Basic or Family Cable TV service, Mediacom can install a filter, often referred to as a trap, on the cable equipment outside the home. This filter will block unwanted channels until the device is removed. Filters may impact reception on adjacent channels, and there are some limitations on the number of traps installed. There is no charge for installation.
For more information, please call 1-888-847-6228. |

The television industry has developed a ratings system for viewers to monitor content of
programs. This ratings system for viewers to monitor content (see symbols and definitions below) known as the TV Parental Guidelines when used in conjunction with the V-Chip, a filtering device installed in most TV sets since 2000, allows viewers to block unwanted programs. To learn more about the TV ratings system and television sets containing the V-Chip, please visit the television industry's website at www.tvguidelines.org |

Every Mediacom digital cable TV package utilizes a digital set-top box. Included in all digital TV packages is the Interactive Program Guide channel with advanced Parental Control features, giving viewers the greatest flexibility to block and unblock individual programs or restrict programs across all cable channels with particular ratings such as all R-rated programs. For more information on the Interactive Program Guide, click here. If you are a Mediacom customer without a digital cable TV package, and are interested in receiving a digital set-top box, which only provides access to parental controls at no additional charge, please call us for details at
