Managing Parental Controls for the Contour TV Receiver Apps

Solution

Use the Parental Controls to lock the access to the applications.

  • This limits access to all or individual applications within the specific Contour receiver.
  • This restricts the ability to sign up for applications or Streaming Subscription services that qualify for Cox billing, such as Netflix or Ride TV.
  • Most of the applications have blocking functions that limit their own content built within the app. For more information about parental controls available within a specific app, refer to the support site for the streaming service.
  • The Contour receiver parental controls work with the parental controls available within select applications.
