Parental controls not working in on demand

Erotic titles are showing in the on demand titles list, and I want to block them.

I turned on parental controls for 17. But when I go to on demand, TV-MA titles still show. Are parental controls working for on demand titles? Or what am I doing wrong?

If you have quantum, there is an additional option required to hide them.

Go to menu-settings-system-parental/purchase.

There is an option to hide Adult titles. Just enable that.

Thanks, but hide adult content is already checked. Adult TVMA still shows up and its first on the free category. Im disgusted by this. Please help.

Just to clarify, go to on demand, movies, free and the first thing you see is "erotika", "straight As to xxx", and a ton of other porn films, next to Alvin and the chipmunks, and Ice Age.  Is this really what Verizon wants gamilies to see as the most popular movies? This is horrific.

My system is showing the same titles with all the parental controls activated as specified.  We need to go back to having a specific family free movies section.  My children are getting just old enough to try to find a movie on demand themselves and we can't have this stuff right there.

Good news, I spent 30 minutes on support chat and got no where.  Do not even attempt the support chat. Not helpful.  But I talked to support on the phone and they immediately saw the problem, even said it was appalling - to see this right next to children's movies.  After 45 minutes they had already talked to the content providers and are trying to figure out how to fix it.  They hope to have something done in 2 days.  I have a support ticket linked to the xxx content in the free movies area, and a promise that this will be resolved! Wa*ne was the best support tech ever.    

On another note, how did this ever get past the quality assurance department? Big problem, if you ask me.

Verizon promised me text message updates, and a call back in 24 hours. None of that happened. They promised me a case number, again, never happened. This problem still exists
