Hi Guys, Ive bit the bullet and cancelled my Virgin Media Sub and am in the progress of looking thru the channels on my Vu+. What I am wanting to do is set up a couple of groups of Favorites, One for me, One for the Kids and one for the Porn (so i can keep it from the kids). What is the best way for me to block access to certain channels from the Kids (Pref with a PIN)? Ive noticed a Blacklist and Whitelist file on the box and also mention of them within the setup menu of the box. How exactly would I go about adding stations to these lists and whats the best/quickest way of doing so. Once again, Cheers fellas for your invaluable help :)

EDIT: My main goal here is to block access, I will deal with adding favorites etc at a later time.

OK

dependant on how clever your children are ( DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE ) and how clever your Mrs is, also do not under estimate

you need to do the following

1, do not record any thing that may cause a problem
2 enable "protect setup" this will stop any blue/red/yellow/green functions along with any other menu buttons ( ie setup, network, updates etc )
3 enable "protect services"
4, if you are away for any length of time, disable your motorized dish in tuner cfg ( it will be password protected )
5 do not forget your password
