Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your e-mail.
The digital signal is carried in 6 blocks of channels, when the unit tunes these in, these are locked into place, because the unit tunes the channels in as a block, the channels cannot be removed individually. The whole block can be removed however this will result in the loss of other channels if they are within the same block.
Unfortunately software updates are created to cover technical faults with the units this does not come under that
If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us on 0844 847 5454 we will be more than happy to help.
Best regards,

Dear Ms ******
Thank you for your reply.
why is this the case with LG, other brands allow deletion on digital channels?
As far as I am aware it has nothing to do with being part of the signal (please provide further information)
Even if I lock these channels, my children can still view epg info on channels such as 'Adult filth', if the channels were deleted they would not appear in the epg.
Can I suggest a software upgrade to address this matter as 'Freeview' inform me any complaints regarding this matter should be made with the manufacturer.
I look forward to your reply
Regards

Dear Mr *****
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, this is part of the signal and so these cannot be deleted as this will be down to the broadcaster,however there is a DTV rating that can be set up to prevent young people watching the channels.

Hi
I was trying to delete some digital TV channels on this box (mainly the adult porn ones) but find the option is not selectable.
It seems I am only able to delete analogue channels, why is this so?
Please advise asap, otherwise I may have to return the box as there are younger family members in my household who may be exposed to this.
Thanks
