    • Managing Parental Controls

    Many parents are concerned about their children watching unsuitable programming or having access to Pay-Per-View content.

     

    To offer parents more control over the programming and content their children can access, Verizon offers FiOS TV Parental Controls that enables parents to:

    • Selectively block programming by channel or rating.
    • Selectively block Pay-Per-View and On Demand purchases.
    • Set up two different user-defined PINs (one for purchases and one to block programs.)
    • Hide adult programming from the TV Listings.
    • Block access to social networking Widgets for Facebook and Twitter.

    To set up and use Parental Controls:
    1. Press the Menu button on your remote.

      The Main Menu is displayed on your TV screen.

    2. Using the arrow buttons on your remote, highlight Settings and press OK/Select

      Note: Depending on your remote control, you'll need to press either the OK or Select button to make a selection.

    3. Select Parental Controls and press OK/Select.

    4. Create your own 4-digit PIN. You'll then need to retype your PIN to confirm your selection.

    5. To block or unblock programming, highlight a parental control setting and press OK/Select.

      Important: Blocking any rating (such as TV-14) also automatically blocks all higher (more restrictive) ratings such as TV-MA.

    6. After setting your parental controls, highlight Enable Parental Controls, and select On then press OK/Select.

      A green checkmark indicates that Parental Controls are turned on.

      To Disable parental controls, highlight Enable Parental Controls and select Off then press OK/Select.
