This is because cable and satellite providers, as well as TV or movie stations write their own CC for movies they show that do not already have them. If a movie you want to watch has SDH, we recommend (if possible), looking for that movie on a satellite or cable box. TVGuardian will filter most DVDs with CC, but does NOT filter movies with SDH.The previous models (101, 201, 301, 401 and 501) will mute the sound and optionally display a replacement phrase on the screen. The TVGuardian mutes the sound for the entire phrase when profanity is detected. Does the TVGuardian just mute the profane word?.If the Blu-Ray movie HAS the closed-captions TVGuardian needs, it should filter and work with the TVGuardian. Unfortunately, most Blu-Ray movies contain SDH, a different type of subtitles, and those Blu-Ray movies will NOT work with the TVGuardian.

It must be hooked up between the source (VCR, DVD, Tuner, etc.) and your TV. The TV Guardian works literally as a filter.
