Parental control and payment PINs

Take control over what your kids stumble across (and rent) by setting up a parental control PIN.

Parental control PIN

  • To control access to programmes with an age rating.
  • The default PIN is 1234.
  • You can change it at any time in (Settings). 

Payment PIN 

To buy films or TV shows on the EE Player. You can have the same PIN for both if you like. 

If you forget your payment PIN, call us on 0330 123 1105 or go to ee.co.uk/help to find out how to reset your TV box.

You may need to set up other PINs or passwords to access other players like Amazon or Netflix.

Recording on EE TV

You can record up to two programmes at once when your TV Box is in ‘Internet Mode’. (If your box is in ‘Aerial Mode’ you can record four programmes at once.) When your TV Box is full, it’ll automatically delete the oldest one you’ve watched. You can lock an old recording to prevent this from happening.

Find out more about Aerial and Internet modes for TV Box Pro.

Accessibility features

Click the on top right button of the remote control and you’ll find a range of accessibility features to help you watch your EE TV service:

  • subtitles
  • sign language 

Not all broadcasters allow these features, but if they do you can turn them on/off in Settings.

Select Appearance and you can:

  • switch on high contrast
  • remove channel logos

which may  make the menus and text easier to read.

You can also use the Zoom feature to make text bigger in the Guide or in Apps, which can be found in More, and switched on or off by selecting OK.

Or you can use a UK USB keyboard, either alongside the remote or instead of it, Just plug your keyboard into the back of your TV box and use the keys like you would on a remote control.
