Satellite & Wireless DIRECTV® Receivers

ALL DIRECTV® receivers offer  Parental Controls 

Let the Kids Watch, Worry-Free

At DIRECTV, we take the well-being of your family seriously. That's why all DIRECTV® Receivers give you control over what you and your children watch. Our powerful Parental Controls feature allows you to restrict unsupervised TV viewing however you please. Find out which receiver is right for you below.

Use Your Remote Control To:

  •   Allow viewing based on MPAA ratings or block specific movies.
  •   Lock out entire channels.
  •   Set limited viewing times.
  •   Even establish spending limits on Pay Per View purchases.
We Make It Easy
  1. To use Parental Controls, simply press the "menu" button on your remote, select "Profiles," and look for the selections which indicate "Rating Limit," "Lock User," "Viewing Hours" or "Spending Limit."
  2. Follow the easy-to-understand on-screen directions, which vary by receiver.
  3. After setting up, you can easily access the programming you like by entering your personal identification number (PIN).
