IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE RECEIVERS IN YOUR HOME
As mentioned earlier, Parental Controls and VOD settings are local to the receiver. Enabling
parental controls and purchase limits in the living room, for example, won’t automatically apply
to the receiver in the kitchen. This enables you to customize all settings, including the parental
password, as appropriate in your household.
VOD orders are available and will appear in the My Orders menu on all connected receivers on
your account, subject to the local Parental Controls settings.
