Empowering Television Viewers with Choice, Control, And Education
At Bright House Networks, we're committed to giving you control over the programming you and your family watch on TV. That's why our cable set top boxes come equipped with a Parental Control feature which allows you to:
-
Restrict viewing of certain channels
-
Restrict viewing of certain ratings
-
Restrict viewing of programs during certain time periods
Setting up Parental Control is easy, using your remote control and the on-screen guide.
How does Parental Control work?
The Parental Control feature allows you to block programs by channel, program rating (such as TV 14, TV MA), or time of day. You select the channels, ratings, or times to block from the General Settings menu. You set up Parental Control and turn it on and off for the entire system by entering your Personal Identification Number (PIN).
When you turn the Parental Control feature on, you cannot view blocked programs without entering your PIN code. A padlock symbol on the channel banner indicates that a channel or program is blocked, or that a part of the program is blocked by time or rating. You can turn off all Parental Control, or you can selectively unblock a single program, channel, or time period.
When the Parental Control feature is off, an open or unlocked padlock symbol on the channel banner identifies each channel or program that would be blocked if the Parental Control feature were on. Our Digital set top boxes also have the ability to hide adult titles from the program guide listings.

If you you don't have a set top box and your TV is not equipped with a V-chip,
please contact our office for free equipment to access parental controls.
