    IPTV parental PIN lock — channel-level blocking for families
    Channel-level PIN blocking keeps kids on the kid side of the lineup.

    Worried about what your kids stumble onto? Our IPTV parental PIN lock hides any channel or category behind a 4-digit code — and it takes just 2 minutes to set up. All for $11.88/month with 200+ kid-safe channels included.

    Family-Safe Streaming, Done Right

    Cable's parental controls are clunky and easy to bypass. Our IPTV's PIN system blocks channels at the EPG level — kids literally can't see what's locked. Combined with kids-only profiles and category blocking, it's the safest way to give your family 20,000+ channels without worry.
