Can I lock individual channels on my digibox?

I have scanned the FAQ but there seems to be no mention of being able
to lock individual channels like you can on Freeview boxes to prevent
my son viewing inappropriate content.

I have been to the parental control section, but this only seems to
restrict by certificate, e.g. 18 years and over - I would like to stop
him watching violent stuff like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Fox
Kids before I wake up.

The only way I have found to do this is to take out the card, but
removing the card all the time not only stops him watching vaguely
educational channels like NickJR, but is probably bad for the
card/reader, and leaves him just CBeebies.

I am not entirely happy about that either! There is something deeply
disturbing about the inhabitants of Balamory, such as the policeman
who sings "I'm PC Plum, here I come, I'll teach you all about the bees
and birds..."

Anyway, any help please - the digibox is a grundig if that makes any
difference.

Cheers
Ed

Only way is to take the card out. CBeebies is alot more educational for him
anyway. Let him watch that, it's 100 times better than Fox Kids.

You can't do it. Nor can you re-order channel numbers or remove
channels from the EPG.

Many would say that this is major shortcoming on the Sky box. Anyone
who has ever seen the appalling "gyrating babe chat" FTA channels
would certainly say this. In fact the shortcoming is so major that I'm
surprised that even somnolent Ofcom hasn't done anything about it.
