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 unlock any specific parental control, then use the
password for the TV you are watching. For example, use the Hopper with Sling DVR
password to unlock the controls set for the TV connected to the Hopper and use the
Joey password to unlock the controls set for the TV connected to the Joey Receiver.
When you restrict by rating, you also lock all other more restrictive ratings. For
example using the MPAA ratings, if you restrict PG-13 rated movies, then all other
programming with the R, NC-17, and NR/AO ratings are also restricted.
UESTIONS
Why don't the locks I set for a remote TV work? If the receiver is in a Whole-Home
DVR system, then any locks you have set on other TVs are not available. Locks and
restrictions are specific to each Hopper with Sling HD DVR and Joey Receiver in your
system. However, you can copy all the same parental-control settings you have made
on your Hopper with Sling HD DVR to one or more linked Joey Receivers in your
whole-home DVR system. See Copying Locks from Your Hopper to a Joey on
page 49. Note that you cannot copy settings made on a Joey Receiver to any other
Joey Receivers (or back to a Hopper with Sling HD DVR) in your whole-home system.
What do I do if I forget my password? If you ever forget your password, then you
will need to contact a DISH Customer Service Representative.
