Block YouTube on specific TVs
I want to block the keyword youtube on two specific TVs. I have 8 other keywords that I have blocked for the household in the router gateway for all devices. In the router gateway if I enable blocking on two TVs only then I will free up the blocked words on all the 8 other devices. Is there a way to block youtube in the TVs only within Xfi app? If I uninstall youtube app in the TVs, it keeps suggesting youtube again so my child just clicks on it again.

You could simply uninstall the YouTube app of the TV's you do not want to have it on. The xFi app cannot change settings on your TVs. Suggest you locate and download the user manual for the TV's you want to block it on, and manually uninstall YouTube from each. Be aware that kids are smart enough to figure out how to reinstall it, so there is not really any foolproof way of guaranteeing they won't reinstall it. Perhaps you may have to find some type of punishment for them using it, such as loss of TV privileges. Some TVs have the option of setting a PIN that is required to install apps; if so, set that up on the TVs and *NEVER* give your kids that PIN.
