Setting up parental controls on your Entone set-top box

You can add Parental Controls so other family members can access only appropriate programs. This feature is only available using your Set-Top Box.

First, you need to enable the PIN on Login for the main user profile:

  1. Select Menu >> Settings >> Preferences and press OK.

  2. You will be prompted to enter your PIN.

  3. You can select the rating you want to allow access without a PIN (e.g. G- General, PG – Parental Guidance, R - Restricted) or content type (e.g. V-Violence, L-Adult Language).

  4. You can also choose to block specific channels altogether from your guide and searches. To do this, go to Settings >> Preferences >> Channel Blocking >> click on the checkmark. You can edit the list you want to block at any time by simply selecting the Edit button beside the channel(s) you want to block or unblock.

  5. Press Save and Exit to confirm your changes.
