Channel Blocking & Purchase PIN
Optimum lets you take control of who sees what.
Parental controls keep young eyes from mature material.
It’s as easy as…
Set up your PIN
Not every show is for everybody.
Some programming is (extra) special (unusual). That’s why there’s a purchase Pin. It keeps you from having any surprises on your bill.
To use parental controls, you need to create a personal identification number (Pin) on each digital cable box in your home.
- Press Settings to access the Quick Settings menu.
- Highlight “Parental Controls.”
- Select “Go to Settings”
- Highlight “Set Pin.”
- Enter and re-enter your new four-digit Pin. To change your Pin, select “Modify Pin.”
- Remember to follow these steps on each one of your digital cable boxes.
Channel Blocking
Parental controls make it easy for you to take it easy.
You can relax, knowing that mature programming is off-limits to anyone who shouldn’t be seeing it.
To prevent young viewers from accessing inappropriate programming, Optimum lets you block channels, titles or programs based on ratings. You can also limit Pay Per View access and prevent adult titles from appearing in the program guide.
- Press Settings twice.
- Select “Parental Controls”.
- Set your personal preferences.
Set up your purchase PIN
Avoid surprise charges on your bill.
Simple setup makes ordering easy.

- Press Settings twice
