Help! How do I block a p**n channel on my tv?

Question

We bought a used TV, and it has a built in HD receiver, so suddenly we are getting ALL these channels we've never seen before! It's Spring Break here, and our 12 year old is home alone. I tried fooling around with the remote and found the parental blocker, but it kept asking me for a code. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Yea, leave it alone. I had my first sexual experience with my girlfriend at 12. Maybe you can block the murdering and the killing.

Answer 2

You will need the passcord from the previous owner to get to the parental features.  Otherwise, call the manufacturer and they might be able to walk you through resetting the passcode.

Answer 3

funny! call the maker for a reset code... before its too late! haaa

Answer 4

Honey if you have cable I would call them and maybe they could help you out. Just explain that it is a used TV and you don't want your child exposed to such things. God Bless.

Answer 5

The suggestion to ask the previous owner is good. If you can't contact the previous owner, your TV might have a master reset code. Many TVs do. If you have the manual for your TV, look in there. If you don't have the manual, you might be able to download it from the manufacturer's web site. Because you didn't specify which exact TV model you have, there's not much more to add.
