Tell AT&T U-Verse to remove Pornography from their search listings!

Thanks...the last time we checked the adult option was not present or it was not specific to the search listings...sounds like it has been expanded; thanks again.

Yup, using the Search feature on the remote does bring up some rather embarrassing results (and I'm not easily embarrassed).  That is one feature that should default to blocked (i.e., must be enabled to see it).

The Adult option has always been available, but in previous versions of the set-top box firmware, it was not on the first screen of parental controls.  Instead of all 6 parental control options being on the first screen, only the first 4 were on the first screen, and you had to scroll down to see the other 2, which included the Adult option.  There was also no indication that there was a second screen, so many people missed the Adult lockout.

I like adult content and think it should be available to AT&T Uverse customers.  AT&T has options to filter adult content.  If you don't want to see adult content, simply turn on the filters.  Don't try to restrict the content of those customers, like me, who enjoy watching adult content.

Calm down - maybe you have an icy cold Coca Cola in the fridge, to help relax you?  At any rate -  no one is trying to take away your God Given right to watch adult content.  All controls are fully optional.  Enjoy!

Well done great fix that's just what I would have done to troubleshoot the problim good work people!! 

YES! I was completely disturbed myself when I went to search for a regular show and found myself staring at a huge list of disgusting porn titles . I found this post because I am looking for a way to hide porn titlaes I too have children 17,12 and 6 and NONE of us want to be subjected to that . A previous com pay allowed us to go into parental options and hide these titles , is this an option ??? I can't believe that everywhere we look porn is in our face 😞 

Kellee, did you follow the instructions in SomeJoe7777's post that was marked as the accepted solution for this thread?  It should do what you asked.

I don't care much for holier than thou Jesus freaks myself.  I have all religious programming hidden.

That is your opinion. Many people enjoy the religious channels, and find comfort and inspiration in them. It sounds like you are prejudiced against people who are devout Christians.

Owning a computer and not having the internet is like buying a refrigerator and not stocking it with food.

I am not prejudiced against anyone.  it is just that I have found that most religious types criticize me for my lifestyle (which includes watching adult programming), so I feel I must criticize them back in return Since I don't like their programming where they beg for people's

money on TV.  A lot of these so-called religious people are actually greedy hypocrites that misuse this money...remember Jim and Tammy Faye Baker?

[Please keep it courteous]

I'll agree to an extent with TVFan's observations, in that there are a whole LOT of "religious" people who are hypocrites ... but that's also just a trait shared by anyone of the human race.  The part about the Jim and Tammy Bakker-lookalikes ... yeah, but that's more because they hide under the IRS tax code's "religious" activities -- which, to an extent, makes it a profitable business.  Let's leave that aspect right there.

As to the porn in searches, there are ways to mitigate exposure to that.  However, it's much easier to drift around Google, sign up for a username here on the forum, and not even BOTHER looking for a solution.  Unfortunately, that's what the internet is to some people -- not a source of information to solve their problem, but merely a way to complain and maybe the company you're complaining to will give you free stuff because they don't want negativity spread about them.

The "porn" on U-verse and other cable/satellite providers isn't profitable to them anymore, really.  Ever since the extreme markup that happened back in 2009-ish to $14.99-per-block by the major MSOs, they've cut their nose to spite their face.  And I think AT&T is pretty choosy about how U-verse is viewed in regards to offering "adult" programming.  They *could* be making a LOT more if they offered the linear channels (24/7 programming) for a price per block or a monthly subscription price, but they choose to limit that to Playboy, which at least to me, is hardly "porn" programming.

I didn't know uverse had porn besides possible pay per view.  What I have seen on channels like cinemax are cut up versions of porn with all the good parts cut out.  Just an R rated movie now.  I wouldn't call it porn.
