How to lock adult channels with a PIN
Lock the adult section in 5 steps
Open the app settings
In your IPTV player, open Settings (the gear icon).
Choose Parental control
Sometimes called "Parental lock" or "Lock categories".
Create a PIN
Pick a 4-digit PIN that nobody else in the house knows.
Lock the adult categories
Tick every category marked adult or 18+, for live TV, movies and series.
Hide them if you prefer
Many apps also let you hide locked categories from the menu entirely.
Where to find it in popular apps

Extra steps for a family home
- Use a different PIN from your phone or bank PIN.
