Default Blocking Boomerang

When my 6 year old lad plays up, I would like to stop him watching this
channel, I have tried the parental lock on a U and it does not work, why
not?

One of the great failings of the Sky EPG is that it has no provision
for channel ordering or removal or blocking.

It only works on channels that send a signal to tell the box to ad a
password protection. It does work on 15 and 18 programes but no channel
seems to have this feature enable for U programs.

That's just programme blocking. I was talking about whole channels.
Channel blocking, filtering and ordering is what is needed as this
neatly solves all such problems.

You could always try parental control yourself rather than relying on a Sky
box.
