What is a Parental Monitoring?

I believe for any application, there should be a monitor thing where parents/guardians should be allowed to keep a track of their children data. Knowing the fact that you can not stop your child from everything but what you can best do is to keep a track of their activities. For this, Cox has allowed their user with this brilliant facility of monitoring and you have 3 settings to ensure the safety of your child.

· Secure Browsing

You as a parent need to decide of what level of security you want in browsing, either you can choose high or you can choose medium. Through these settings, the browser will make sure not to show any inappropriate content when your child is browsing. Cool, Right?

· Lock or Unlock TV Shows

If you want that your child should not see some particular shows, you can lock and block them according their TV ratings, Ratings like L stands for Language, S stands for sexual and V stands for Violence.

· Lock or Unlock TV channels

You should know that there might be some channels that can show violence, sexual content and if you want your child not to see that particular channel, you can easily block those channel and have a safe and secure surfing.

Watch anything on a go

The most amazing perk that I believe Cox Contour TV application has is none other than but the far from home thing. If you are a daily content consumer and you are watching your favorite show daily and then you have to travel somewhere, you can easily watch any channel, any show live or if you are not interested in watching live, you can also watch recorded version after wards.

On Demand 

If you are travelling somewhere and you plan to watch something but you don’t want to watch Live TV then you can watch available content on demand and then depending upon your subscription, you might watch that too.

Download While Traveling

It’s comparatively very easy to watch anything while sitting at your home but what if you are not at home then? Don’t worry because Cox Contour TV app allows you to download content so that you have an ease watching any movie where you have no Wi-Fi access.
