TV Control at Home

In response to Joan Van Tassel’s Counterpunch, “ ‘V’ Chip Solution a Cop-Out” (April 11): There is a technology available that allows you to control not only the type of explicit content you see and hear but also the amount (intensity).

This patented technology is called VideoFreedom, and it offers home viewers and the industry a technology-based solution to the single-source, multiple-viewer dilemma of conventional entertainment. Information is coded into four categories: (1) sex/nudity; (2) violence; (3) adult situations; (4) language. In each category you have four intensity levels: (1) nearly complete elimination of controversial or explicit material, suitable for children; (2) some blurring, suitable for young adults; (3) mild blurring, suitable for adults; (4) untouched.
