Locking out rental and parental locks - how do some of the options work?

[Angus52]

First, I was able to create a parental lock PIN. It works.

But the rental lock does not respond to that PIN I created. Where would I get the PIN that will let me lock out rentals? I do not want my father in law or my daughter ordering stuff (accidentally or because it isn't buttoned down... the only difference between the two is one has a larger bank book...).

Second, in Parental Locks, can I alter which channels of the adult option? (Some I didn't think should be are locked).

If I can't do it with the Adult option, how does that change with respect to the 18+ and older option? I don't quite understand how these two options differ - help?

If I can't have the granulated choices I want to block in adult or 18+ options, if I use the channel option, can I set the porn channels (even PPV) to be locked out?

Hey there @Ex_Brit 

Thank you for your post.

Parental controls cannot be set up remotely by a Bell Technician. When you set up parental controls on your TV parental controls need to be set on each receiver individually and will only apply to the TV attached to a particular receiver. Take a look at this support article for more information How to set parental controls with Bell Fibe TV

Let the Community know if you have any other questions.

I’m a recent convert from Rogers to Bell and have noticed that there doesn’t seem to be a way to restrict specific channels or apps with a code.  The parental controls option seems to only be by rating (which would include a bunch of unwanted programs) and once restricted. There’s no way to enable them via a code.  Am I missing something or is this feature nit available on Bell?

You can customize the TV guide & block channels from being viewed & selected on your Fibe TV Guide. You can also set up parental controls. You can set up password controls for purchases, restrict access, etc. 

There is no other option available, per se, to block a specific program from being viewed on a channel that meets the parental controls that you have selected.
