Set A Parental Control Pin; Connect To The Internet - Telstra T-BOX User Manual

set a Parental Control Pin

You need to set a Parental Control PIN during your T-Box set-up, even if you
®
don't intend to use it.
When prompted by the on-screen instructions, enter a 4-digit Parental Control
PIN using the numerical buttons on your remote control. You'll be asked to
confirm your PIN again by re-entering it. You'll also be asked on the next screen
to select the type of content you would like to restrict from viewing on the T-Box.
If you select 'No restrictions', you'll be able to watch all content on your T-Box
without any restriction.
Make sure you keep a secure record of the PIN you set, as you'll need it to unlock
access to certain channels and programs based on their classification.
Note: If you lose your Parental Control PIN you'll have to reset your T-Box or contact
Telstra Customer Service on 13 2200. To reset your T-Box, see page 43.
The Parental Control function is designed to help you control what channels and
programs are watched in your home. However, it should never replace adult supervision,
and we recommend you be involved in what programs your family chooses to watch.

ConneCt to tHe internet

Your T-Box doesn't just bring you free-to-air digital TV channels – it also
connects to BigPond broadband so that you can watch a range of live BigPond
®
TV channels, BigPond Videos and choose from movies and TV shows from
the BigPond Movies library. To enjoy all of this extra entertainment, plus the
benefits of the latest software updates, you need to connect your T-Box to the
internet through your Wi-Fi enabled multiport Home Network Gateway modem,
compatible with 802.11 g/n and an eligible BigPond broadband connection. For
more information please visit telstra.com.au/tbox
The speed of your BigPond broadband connection will determine the speed at which
your T-Box can deliver your BigPond TV and Movie services. So when you first connect
to the internet, the available media streaming quality – 'high' or 'standard' – will be
displayed on screen.
If you want to change this streaming quality later, you can do so from the Settings menu.
See page 56, 'Trouble with BigPond TV' for more information.
Your T-Box is compatible with BigPond Cable, ADSL and Velocity Home Network
Gateways (Wi-Fi modems). However the actual broadband speed available on
your T-Box will vary with the number of computers and internet devices using your
access connection at the same time, the type of home network connection and
your BigPond broadband plan.
