hi folks,

I have searched all day for this but had no joy...can anyone advise how you lock a channel so that it can only be opened by the PIN?

sorry for asking such a dumb question but can only find how to set the PIN so far in services....using a sagem box (what are those menus like?!!).

cheers, asr.

if you mean the pron channels press
dbox
services
bouquet editor
hi lite the adult bouquet then press the dbox button look to bottom right above the blue button icon and it will change from rename to hide then locked.
press home and save settings when prompted.
Hope this helps.

Hi all.
I have tried locking & hiding my bouquet but still see unwanted channels. I also have the pin lock on, but it just seems to stop access to all bouquet editing until i enter the pin. Will changing the bouquet .xml file manually (hidden="0" locked="0") then ftp to Dbox2 work?. If so what number do i change it to?
Thanx in advance

you are aware that even though the buqouet "Adult " is hidden the channels still appear in other or andrae, the only proper way to completely hide channels is to use a myservices file, I'll dig out the info

Copy myservice.xml to your desktop and make a backup copy of this and put it somewere safe open the one on your desktop with notepad or bouquet wizard
Thanks to ellie1998 for this
delete all the channels you want to keep with the ones you want not to show do this

<channel service_id="fff7" name="Playboy NVOD" service_type="04"/>

make it
<channel action="remove" service_id="fff7" name="Playboy NVOD"
service_type="01"/>

leave in all the transponder crap and only delete the line for the channels you want to watch.

Do not edit with wordpad
put the myservices.xml in /var/tuxbox/config/zapit refresh your channel lists and the ones mark action="remove" will never show.
if it dont work you have always got your backup copy
then i would recommend flashing one of the newer images on to get the features in the menus you are missing
Hope this helps.

Cheers mate.
I think i'm getting somewhere now. I will give it a go although i didn't want to lose the channels completely. A newer image is looking like the way forward.
Thanx for all your help guys.

I moved all of the pron channels from Anderre to Adult and then locked and pin protected Adult.

I have a sportster image. I have changed the bouquet files to put all channels under a category called 'Adul.t' , changed the property 'lock="1"' and I have used the menu option (called Youth control) to lock this bouquet.

It works well and asks for a pin number when you select an adult channel. However, if I turn off the box and restart, it looses the key lock. The bouquet is still shown as locked in the Bouquet editor, but the youth control settings disappear. Seems like these settings are not stored in persistent memory. Is there any way I can retain the settings after a power reset?

Am I missing something here, I place the lock on the Adult menu and I am prompted for the PIN "Great" but........

If I go into >Setttings > Parental Control it shows me the PIN.

Is there a way to block access to the Parental Control menu?

Cheers

you could try creating a myservices file that will not show the pron channels, unless your kids are clever enough to use ftp or telnet :Hammer:
