Thank you for reaching out! Since your Smart TV uses the Xfinity Stream App, you will need to reset the Parental Controls PIN in the Xfinity Stream portal. https://www.xfinity.com/stream/

I've never enabled parental controls, yet when accessing streaming sites I receive the message: Whoa! This content may be inappropriate for children. I've tried going through the Xfinity website and app but find no setting for parental control. Please help!

Boosting Xfinity Remote IR signal for TV control?

My couch is 16 feet away from my TV and the X1 voice enabled remote needs to be pointed at the TV to control the volume of the TV since that happens over IR (infrared line of sight).

Parental Managed Sites Don't Work

I have the xfi gateway and no matter what keywords or sites I program into the parental managed sites, none of them block the access while testing. This seems like an issue posted a lot, is this outstanding?

Question

The mainline xfinity app doesnt seem to have a obvious way to disable parental controls. You must be talking about xfinity mobile, which i do not have access to due to signing up recently.

I don’t know why, but each time I connect to my Xfinity wifi, YouTube restricted mode gets enabled, there doesn’t seem like a obvious option to disable that, can someone help? I’ve tried searching on the internet for my situation, but none helped.

How do I block sites?

One of my kids spends way too much time watching YouTube videos when she should be focused on school work. It's there a way I can block certain sites on my Xfi Gateway? And can I do it for his devices specifically?

Question

@XfinityJimmy​ thanks for your response. This is related to parental controls and downtime on the Xfinity app. Those controls don't work, because it's easy to change the MAC address of a device and connect as a new unassigned device.
