Advanced Profanity Filter is an answer to an 'unrequested' prayer because I could never fathom that one day I'll be able to enjoy movies without hearing the language. The filter is a delight and for the times when audio is muted for a long time, it doesn't bother me because I can read from the subtitles. I love the option of adding additional words to the filter, wow! This has been more than a blessing. Thank you Richard!!!
