Can you limit the playlist to specific receivers?

I have the whole home DVR system and 3 receivers (2 HD DVRs and 1 HD).  Can I limit the playlist sharing to just one one of the receivers and block the 3rd from receiving it.  My kid's have one tv and I don't want them able to review/watch/delete any of the programs on my playlist.  However, I do want to make the playlist available on our third receiver.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks

the system is an all or nothing.  you can either share to all receivers and DVR's.  or not share to any receiver or  DVR.  there is no middle way.

On the childrens DVR/receiver you can set it to not share in the setup menu.  However, the children can change it back at will, assuming they can locate the menu.  You could also install a band stop filter on the coax feeding their DVR, but again, that is easily removed.  Insofar as them deleting from your DVR, you can set your menu to not allow remote deletions.  Bottom line is that Whole Home is just that so secrecy isn't part of the system.
