We just recently had FIOS installed and I see that with the set-top box that we have, I can set parental controls based on time. Previous to this, we had COX cable and using the time control, I could prevent my child from turning on the TV/cable box this way. When my husband or I wanted to watch something, we'd put in our code and it would be unlocked just for that session. As soon as we turned off the TV & cable box, it went back to being locked.
It looks to me as though with FIOS, once I unlock the time control, it stays unlocked forever unless I reactivate it. This is a real pain - every time I turn on the TV, I need to go into setting, parental control, and reactivate the time control.
Is this the way it's supposed to work? And if so, it's actually a pretty useless setting. I would like to suggest that you add in the option to reactivate it automatically every time the box is turned off. That's the way a real time control setting ought to work.

Hi morettina -- The way you are going through to activate the time control is the way the box software has been setup to do it. I do, however, like your suggestion of how you'd like the time control to work. If you would, place a post on our Idea Forum which is located here:

Team members from our development departments constantly go over the ideas placed in that forum and use it as a source for some great improvements! I sincerely hope you post this up there.
If you need any other help or have any other questions about your FiOS service, please don't hesitate to post.
Thanks!
