Kids spending too much time watching netflix and youtube - how can this be limited?
Hi,
we're finding our kids are spending too much time watching youtube/netflex etc and use software to limit the amount of time that they can access these sites on their laptops/tablets. Unfortunately we don't appear to have a way to restrict the time they spend watching tv via the sky q box. Is there a way to either restrict the hours that they can access, or to be able to set a daily time limit, shared across q and mini boxes?
Thanks in advance
Tony

Other than you cancelling Netflix or removing the mini boxes from their rooms there is no function to prevent them viewing TV content at unsocialable hours or for an extended period.

Depending on your broadband provider there may be an option to turn Wi-Fi off in their app which could prevent the mini boxes & phones/tablets from accessing shows/the internet. I don't have mini boxes so am not sure how they connect to the main box.
I don’t work for Sky.
If I have helped then please leave a like.
