How to Block Verizon Pay Per View

Block access to programs you don't want kids to see.

Verizon FiOS employs fiber optic technology to bring you your favorite high-definition television shows and movie channels. The service also gives you the ability to purchase Pay-Per-View and On Demand content, such as live sporting events or recently released movies. You normally purchase Pay-Per-View content with the touch of a button on your Verizon FiOS remote. If you have children in your home, you may not want to give them access to paid content. It is possible to restrict access to Pay-Per-View with a PIN code.

Instructions

1. Press "Menu" on the Verizon FiOS remote when you are using the FiOS television service. The Main Menu appears.

2. Scroll to "Settings" on the Menu screen. Press the "Select" or "OK" button to open the Settings menu. The button is different depending on the model of remote control you have.

3. Scroll down and select "Parental Controls." Press "Select" or "OK." You are prompted to create a four-digit PIN code.

4. Enter your desired four-digit PIN code two times. You are taken to the Parental Control menu.

5. Scroll to and select "Pay-Per-View." If desired, it is also possible to block On Demand content or other types of programs.

6. Select "Enable Parental Controls" and then select "On." Press "OK" or "Select." When Parental Controls are active, you see a green check mark on the screen.

Tips & Warnings

• You must enter your PIN code any time you order Pay-Per-View content as long as Parental Controls are enabled.
