TV Locks let you set Parental Controls to lock TV shows and series based on their TV Parental Guideline ratings. Learn how to set up and manage your TV Locks with Xfinity X1.

Note that series episodes don't always have the same rating: an episode of a series may be TV-14 one week and TV-PG the next, for example.

To turn TV Locks on or off, you'll need to set up a Locks PIN first. For details, see Setting Up Your Locks PIN.
