Set up and manage FreeRange TV Parental Controls

The Shaw FreeRange TV app includes the ability to set parental controls which allow you to limit the types of content available for streaming and download through the app. If you have the FreeRange TV app installed on multiple devices, please be aware that parental controls must be set up individually on each device as they are not account based, and are separate from the parental controls you can set up through satellite receiver.

To set up parental controls in the FreeRange TV app, you will first need to create a PIN. To set up a PIN for the first time, you will need to:

1. Open the Shaw FreeRange TV app on your mobile device
2. Navigate to Settings
3. Select Parental Controls
4. Move the parental controls toggle to the "On" position
5. Enter a 4 digit PIN

This PIN will be required to access parental control options in the future, so please ensure that you remember it for future reference. Once a PIN has been set you can set your parental control preferences which include enabling safe browse, setting movie and TV ratings and locking networks and titles.

Safe Browse prevents the display of adult titles and descriptions. Safe Browse does not prevent the playback of content. To lock content with a Parental Controls PIN, be sure to set restrictions based on ratings and more.
