How To Manage Parental Locks On Your Satellite TV
How to Manage Parental Locks on Your Satellite TV
As parents, we want to give the best to our children. Sometimes what we withhold from our children is the best for them, especially when it comes to satellite TV. Satellite TV offers a plethora of age appropriate entertainment and educational programming along with a selection of programs full of crude language, violence and nudity, all available with the touch of a few buttons on a remote control.
To keep the balance in favor of children by protecting their sensibilities, satellite TV providers have built in protections so parents can control what their children view. Parents can protect and lock channels. The channels are still available, but a password must be submitted before the protected program is unlocked and available for viewing.
To set parental controls:
1.Press MENU on the remote.
2.Select LOCKS on the open menu.
3.Select CHANNEL LOCKS on submenu.
4.Scroll through the listed channel numbers, highlight the channel number and press SELECT for each channel to be locked.
5.Highlight and select the SAVE option when done
6.Set a 4-digit password. Highlight and select OK.
7.Press GUIDE on remote and view the channel listing. The channels locked will have an icon in the upper left corner.
