Well, we've had the TVGuardian HD for a couple of weeks now and wanted to give you an update on our experiences. For the most part, it's more accurate than our older standard unit in that it catches the words before they are spoken. Our old unit would occasionally miss the word or phrase entirely and mute the phrase(s) after the inappropriate word had already been spoken. It isn't perfect though and has missed a word or two. I also have noticed that it glitches at times by showing the closed captioning on the screen even when no curse words are there. Since it depends on correct closed captioning, it can miss words. Some actors don't follow their scripts verbatim and any words that they add that is not included in the CC would not be filtered.
I do wish the Blu-ray movies had CC so that we could watch more movies with this wonderful filtering device. I'm sure that as technology advances, so will TVGuardian.

TVGuardian HD
We have had a TVGuardian standard unit for several years. It was time for an upgrade. I have been in contact with Britt Bennett, president of TVGuardian, since July 2011 in the hopes of getting a HD unit in order to review and of course, upgrade. Finally, the units were in stock and he agreed to send me one to review. (I am sure he wants to get the word out about his product to the most people, so please leave comments and if you purchase one, please tell him I sent you. :) )
I received a TVGuardian HD unit in the mail this past week and my husband and I want to share with you the pros and cons of having a language filtering unit such as this one in your home but that will come in a later post. For now, here's the unboxing and installing video.
These TVGuardian HD units cost $229.95 to buy but you can also rent one for $12.95 a month. (Other prices are available for standard units.)
Remember, I will be making more posts about this unit, so stay tuned. :)

I received this unit for free in exchange for my honest opinion. No other compensation was received or expected.
