For example, if you want to block all R-rated content, simply set your Parental Controls in the Settings area and any channel that is currently airing R-rated content will not be accessible without using the Parental Control PIN code to access. As an additional layer of security - without any additional setup, the Parental Controls PIN is automatically required to enter the Adult section and view the list of content options.
How To Set Parental Controls: Go to the WOW! tv+ Settings via the ‘gear’ icon on the home screen, select the “WOW! TV” setting and then select “Parental Controls.” The first time the Parental Controls are used, a PIN will need to be created after entering the default PIN. Enter the default PIN of 1234, and then enter your new unique PIN.
How To Watch Blocked Content: When attempting to watch blocked content, you will receive a prompt that will ask you to enter your Parental Control PIN code. Once you enter your Parental Control PIN code, you will then be granted access to watch that program. This PIN is required to enter the Adult content section (no special setup needed) and the OnDemand PIN code will be required to view/rent Adult content.
How To Change Your Parental Control PIN Code: Go to the WOW! tv+ Settings via the ‘gear’ icon on the home screen, select the “WOW!

The default is 1234. After entering the default pin code, you will then be prompted to enter your new, unique pin code to use in the future.
