Curse-Free TV

Television can be fun and informative, but sometimes it includes a word you'd rather you, or you children, not hear.

Now, a new device can help clean up the language. News Specialist Jed Boal has the details.

This device, known as Curse Free TV, can silence language that viewers may find offensive. Curse Free TV is pretty easy to use. Just hook up the device up between your tv and either your vcr or your cable box. A computer chip inside does the rest.

"What it does is read the close captioning ahead of the program."

When the Curse Free tv chip reads one of the 100 objectionable words in its library, it mutes the phrase containing that word, and omits it from closed captioning.

Its makers say Curse Free TV is 95-percent effective. It retails for about $170.
