• If the receiver displays a message prompting you to enter a password, then this
confirms that there are parental controls set for this receiver.
• If you want to unlock the receiver or undo any specific parental-control lock, use the
password for the TV you're watching. For example, use the Hopper password to
unlock nearby TV locks and the Joey password to unlock the remote TV locks.
• When you restrict by rating, you also lock all other more restrictive ratings. For
example, using MPAA ratings, if you restrict PG-13 rated programs, then all other
programs with the R, NC-17, and NR/AO ratings are also restricted.
Q
UESTIONS
• Why don't the locks I set for a remote TV work? If the receiver is in a Whole-Home
DVR system, any locks you have set on other TVs are not available. Locks and
restrictions are specific to each Hopper HD DVR and Joey Receiver in your system.
You can copy the same parental controls settings you have made on your Hopper to
one or more linked Joey Receivers in your whole-home DVR system. See Copying
Locks from Your Hopper to a Joey on page 41. You cannot copy settings made on a
Joey Receiver to any other Joey (or Hopper HD DVR) in your whole-home system.
• What do I do if I forget my password? If you forget your password, then you will
need to contact a DISH Customer Service Representative.
