How can I block channels and set an age limit?

As a parent, do you to want to prevent your children from watching certain programmes or entire channels? You can, by blocking channels or setting an age limit.

Blocking channels

When you block a channel, it can no longer be watched without a PIN code.

  • Press the house on the remote control, and select Settings > Parental controls > Channel lock > Enter your PIN code > Add channels
  • Select the channel(s) you want to block or unblock, and press OK. 
  • You will see a padlock icon appear next to the blocked channels.
  • Press Back to save your changes.

Setting age lock

Every programme is assigned an age category. You can choose from various minimum ages.

  • Press the house on the remote control, and select Settings > Parental control > Set age lock.
  • Enter your PIN code. 
  • Choose a minimum age (6, 9, 12, 16, 18 or off) and confirm with OK. You can recognize blocked channels or programmes by the padlock icon.

Note: by default, all 18+ programmes are protected with a PIN code. This applies even if you switch off the age lock.
