Parental Controls?

by BubbleProphylaxis

Hi. I have a nVidia Shield TV 2019. Is there a way to install parental controls on the device to prevent kids from using the device, and say, PIN-protect it?

For example, I want to lock-out my kids from TV from 5pm-6pm (dinner time) and 8pm to 8am (bed time). When the 8pm pops in, I'd like the Shield to just stop what it's doing and present a PIN prompt.

Is there anything l like that at all?

I saw a post about "DinnerTime" but it seems it only works with tablets an mobile devices? does it work with Shield TV? I havent seen it on the store...

I know I could prevent this at the firewall level using rules etc, but I can't expect the wife to login to my router if she wants to watch tv at night when the kids are asleep...

I just got a Hisense android TV and am too disappointed in the parental controls. Nothing is locked down if I sign into my Google account.

My boys account states he is too young to have. The channel blocks do not work.

It feels like the only work around is to create another account for him and have 2 on the TV?
