1 Go to Parental Control > Channel.
This page lists all the channels by channel number.
2 To find the channel, key in the channel number if you know it, or use
ch- or ch+ to go one page up or down.
3 Highlight the channel you want, then press the
yellow button (Lock)
to lock it at any time of day, or the
blue button to lock it between
8pm and 6am only.

on your selection.
4 Press the
green button (Save Settings) when you’re done.
You can help prevent Sky Store and Sky Box Office programmes being
bought without your permission or prevent the use of interactive services
that demand a call charge:
1 Go to Parental Control > Other.
2 Highlight PIN Entry Before Going Online and use the left/right arrow
to choose ON. Now anyone who wants to use the phone line within an
interactive service, subject to a call charge, has to enter the PIN first.
3 Highlight Spending Restriction and use the left/right arrow to
choose ON. Press down and set a limit to the cost before the PIN is
needed. Set it to £0.00 to enter the PIN every time you order a Sky
Store or Sky Box Office programme.
4 Press the
green button (Save Settings) when you’re done.
To turn these settings off, just select OFF in step 2 above.
