Parental Controls
This helps to keep your children from watching something you don’t want them to have access
to. It can also be used so others in your household can’t change any of your settings.
Go to Settings/Parental Controls, the first thing it will ask you is for the PIN code, if you’ve never
set this up, then you can use whatever you want, just make sure it’s something that you won’t
forget and get you licked out. Once you enter a PIN number, it will take you to Parental
Controls.
Here you have the options to turn on/off the parental controls, change your PIN number, how to
enter the PIN, and when a PIN is required. Below this are the options on what a PIN is required
for. This is great if f you want to set up TiViMate on a guest or children’s room and control what
can be viewed on those TVs.
This is an example of a way to use it: Set up TiViMate in a kids room, turn off all groups except
the children’s group (make sure you do the same for all three categories if you have them, TV,
movies, series), then set the controls so they can’t change the groups and you will be set for a
kid friendly TV.
Note: if your using this option, make sure you go back to Settings/Playlists, click on each
playlist, go to Manage Groups and turn off the Show Newly Added Groups. If the provider
updates his service and adds porn (or whatever) to his service, it could become available on
your kids TV.
