Parental Controls
Empowering Parents
With the explosion of media options, it can be daunting for families to manage what children watch and see. The cable industry has spent decades educating consumers about parental control tools and media literacy resources to help provide informed advice for families and caregivers. With these tools, families can determine what content is appropriate for their household.

Online Parental Controls
Multiple User Profiles
Members of your family can have their own dedicated profile allowing individuals to customize profiles with controls to suit the needs of family members, including children.
Filtering Options
You can filter websites and content so your children can see only what you want them to. Filtering options often include the use of "white lists" where your children only have access to material and sites you pre-approve, "black lists" where you can block specific objectionable sites, and advanced filtering options where a parent can manage web content based on the use of keywords or other parameters.
Time Limits
You can set limits on screen time appropriate for your children.
Supervised Chat
Allows parents to monitor the online conversations, such as instant messaging, of children.
Reporting Capabilities
You can easily generate several types of reports about web activity for each user profile.
