Review: My 3rd Generation TVG - This is my third TVG. I have owned three generations. The first generation was the best but it doesn't have high definition capability. The TVG LT generation was supposed to bridge the HD gap but was a very poor substitute. Because of the failure of the LT model, I was hesitant to buy the HD model but I'm glad I did. Is it overpriced? Yes. However, with all the garbage on TV, we need to support the companies that are actually trying to combat it. My kids received Christmas money and this is what they wanted to buy with it! In my house, if a show says the Lord's name in vain and we don't mute it in time, we have to turn the show or movie off until the next day. With this TVG HD model, it catches it most of the time. It won't catch "Thank God" when used inappropriately or "Thank the Lord" but I can see that it would be difficult to program it to know when it is appropriate and when it is not. I have a DVD player as well as an OTA Tivo model. It will block bad words most of the time on both. It is a little bit late to mute on the Tivo but not bad and sometimes it mutes just a hair to long but I'd rather it do that as too short. You still get the idea of what's going on in the program. What I would like to see: I would like to see the buttons that are on the remote on the actual TVG box because I can see me losing the remote or the battery going bad. Another option would be that you could program your TV remote to operate it. Great job and dittos to the engineers and makers of the TVG! I'm glad you improved and replaced the LT version instead of giving up in the digital age. Review: Did not work. Very disappointed. - I had such high hopes. I used earlier models for years. One on each television in our house. They did a wonderful job when you accept their limitations - they only work on closed-captioned programming and sometimes the audio and closed-captioning are out-of-sync. We loved watching programs without profanity. When we finally upgraded our Dish receiver to a Hopper, unfortunately the earlier TV Guardian models did not have HDMI input/output jacks. I finally ordered this version expecting the same results. It did not work. The first one was obviously used, which I would have kept if it had worked, but since it didn't, I returned it and got a replacement that did in fact look new, but it did not work either. So very disappointed. ## Features - Easily connects between your HD TV and HD satellite, HD cable, U-verse, FiOS, DirecTV, Dish Network, Xfinity, 1080p Upconverting DVD Player, Tivo HD (up to two connections) - Seven Filter Settings: Tolerant, Moderate, Strict, Off, And Word Specific Control For: D**m and H**l, Religious Programming, Sexual References - Choose from four different quick-change Audience Settings: Kids, Family, Parents, and Others - No Annual or Reoccurring Fees and One Year Limited Manufactures Warranty - Online streaming like Netflix, desertcart Instant Video, or Hulu is NOT supported. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004GW08KA | | Antenna Location | Home Viewing | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Audio output mode | Stereo | | Box Contents | Battery, Remote, TV | | Brand | TV Guardian | | Brand Name | TV Guardian | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Dish Network, DirecTV, Xfinity, ppg TV Tuner/Conversion Box, DVD players with yellow composite video port, Blu-Ray Players with yellow composite video port, Cable boxes, Satellite boxes, VCRs | | Connectivity technology | HDMI | | Customer Reviews | 3.2 out of 5 stars 142 Reviews | | Item Weight | 30 Ounces | | Item weight | 30 Ounces | | Manufacturer | TV Guardian | | Model Number | 501HD | | Network Connectivity Technology | HDMI | | Number of Items | 1 | | Satellite Service Description | Dish Network, DirecTV | | Software Update Supported to Date | unknown | | Supported Audio Format | Dolby Digital, DTS, AAC, MP3, PCM | | Supported Standards | dvb-s2, h.265, mp3, mp4, mpeg-2, ac-3, dolby digital, hdmi | | Total HDMI Port | 2 | | Total HDMI ports | 2 | | Total Video In Out Ports | 3 | | Total Video Out Ports | 1 | | UPC | 653623000058 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Video Output Resolution | 1080p | | Voltage | 12 Volts (DC) | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Stereo - **Brand:** TV Guardian - **Colour:** Black - **Connectivity technology:** HDMI - **Item weight:** 30 Ounces ## Images ![TVGuardian HD Model 501 - Foul Language TV and DVD Profanity Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31hqku30n0L.jpg) ![TVGuardian HD Model 501 - Foul Language TV and DVD Profanity Filter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31UUYkTRQoL.jpg) ![TVGuardian HD Model 501 - Foul Language TV and DVD Profanity Filter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51prdmRhjmL.jpg) ![TVGuardian HD Model 501 - Foul Language TV and DVD Profanity Filter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513dO3epT9L.jpg) ![TVGuardian HD Model 501 - Foul Language TV and DVD Profanity Filter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51D+G8LpJlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does TVG work with Roku (Amazon Prime movies/tv)?** A: I have a Roku, but most of the online channels on the Roku do not broadcast in Closed Captioning which the TVG needs to block the inappropriate language. I know Netfix (on Roku) provides CC but I'm not sure Amazon does. That's a question for them. It's required by law since September 2013 for online movie streaming to provide CC but it seams those in higher power will not enforce it. **Q: Has anyone tried to plug Amazon TV fire stick to this with closed captioning turned on?** A: We have tried. The closed-caption provided by Amazon (and other Internet streaming services) is different than the kind of closed-captioning that the TVGuardian needs in order to filter the profanity. Hopefully TVGuardian will have a solution soon. Thanks,-Family Safe Support **Q: Remote uses one 2025 flat battery. on internet it says remote takes aa battery?** A: Remote takes a flat battery **Q: Does this work for downloaded itunes movies and/or apple tv?** A: First, we really enjoy our TVGuardian Hd 501. It is connected to our DISH Network for our regular tv and movie viewing. However it will only work with the movies we download on our DVR from DISH'S video on demand or pay to view. Most movies will be offered at some point through these, so we wait to record them when we can purchase/rent/free view them through DISH. I have heard that DIRECT TV also connects with TV Guardian. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 3rd Generation TVG *by C***C on 27 January 2017* This is my third TVG. I have owned three generations.
