The Youtube widget is starting to be a battle in our household. Nosotros don't want our young kids using it but there'southward no way to remove it or cake content. What'southward the deal? Is this option returning? I'one thousand shut to cancelling service merely because of this darn feature that I tin't disable.

YouTube content is barely PG-13 at worst, so why are you lot so concerned? I'd rather take my kids watch YouTube on my Goggle box than scout far worse on other devices.

(Distressing for at present getting that stuck in your head) Lamentable, but I don't waste material my time watching YouTube, then I didn't realize they allowed that type of content. Cablevision providers should definitely provide a fashion to block YouTube if they are allowing something more PG-13 to be viewed.

Cablevision providers should definitely provide a way to cake YouTube if they are allowing something more than PG-13 to be viewed. If you dont watch and so why are you lot posting things almost what y'all dont know.

crgauth join:2004-05-18 Glen Burnie, Doc	crgauth to cnyguy Member 2018-May-23 8:07 pm to cnyguy I got a response from back up. No current way to block a widget (as we all know). Simply within the widget there is a parental control to block "Inappropriate" content. No password protection, and then a curious kid could probably find it and enable. Merely it does not appear to say content is blocked, just doesn't bear witness upwards in search results.

Since you questioned my noesis most YouTube and what type of content they permit, I took a look. Aye, they apparently allow songs past cartoon characters to employ the F word (like the kids take never heard the word earlier), and they have some artistic videos of women showing their breasts (like kids accept never seen breasts or other female body parts before. In Europe they accept TV commercials that are very similar to these types of videos, merely the U.s. is very prudish, and displaying body parts is taboo. In that location is far worse that kids could and probably are viewing on the Internet.

Since you questioned my knowledge almost YouTube and what blazon of content they let, I took a wait. Yes, they patently allow songs by cartoon characters to utilise the F word (like the kids take never heard the word before), and they have some artistic videos of women showing their breasts (like kids have never seen breasts or other female body parts before. In Europe they take TV commercials that are very similar to these types of videos, but the The states is very prudish, and displaying body parts is taboo. At that place is far worse that kids could and probably are viewing on the Net. Commonly I wouldn't respond to i of these posts, but... what? Look my kids are constantly on YouTube. The notion that they just have a couple minor things may offend some cultures, along with a couple videos with some harsh language simply isn't authentic. I have 5 kids. Three of whom are under the age of 18. My viii year old constantly watches YouTube via our STB, and I have to monitor what she'due south watching like a hawk. Not that she tries to go find bad content, but information technology's almost impossible to avoid it on in that location. It'southward not but the language, either - sometimes it has nothing to do with nudity or language. The subject matter for some of this stuff is WAY beyond what an 8-twelvemonth-erstwhile should watch. With all due respect, you lot are seriously under-representing the outcome. There are most no controls over what can get uploaded onto YouTube, and their search engine will provide stuff that looks innocent, but isn't. I, for one, would dearest to have real parental controls over YouTube via the widget. Thankfully the one feed that my youngest is into is just some brain-processed almost ii kids who see who can make the better fine art out of pancake batter. Stupid... yep, a waste of time... absolutely. But otherwise pretty harmless (although the one pancake that they made to look like Pennywise the Clown was pretty cool ).

DoubleTap 'Let's Go Brandon' Premium Fellow member bring together:2000-10-xviii Jerseyastan (Software) pfSense Ubiquiti U6-LR 1 edit	DoubleTap to cnyguy Premium Member 2018-May-24 ix:28 am to cnyguy I'chiliad staying out of the what content should be blocked argue. That said option 1 would be an out of pocket cost unless the VZ router has the ability to block specific URL's. If the VZ router tin can't block URL's that'south pretty lame. I stopped using the VZ routers dorsum in 2007 because of the cheesy VZ firmware and lack of features. possible choice 1- If you are non heavily dependent on the VZ router don't mind sacrificing on screen CID or remote DRV functions you lot could ditch & replace the VZ router and add a MoCA adapter and should exist able to block youtube by Black Listing the youtube URL. I tried it on my Asus router running Merlin firmware and the Youtube widget won't even load. Again that would be a two device buy and you lose the above mentioned STB features possible selection 2 -or you may want to try your VZ router with an OpenDNS account and black list youtube at that place. I think the trouble at that place is if & when your IP address changes only maybe you could enable DDNS but you'll have to look into it. We don't cake annihilation here except advertisements and I use PiHole for that which is some other discussion... Here's the link for OpenDNS, run into if that does you whatever good »support.opendns.com/hc/e ··· 27988067 EDIT: Condone and encounter follow-up post for STB correction, for hand-held and desktops it still could exist an option not going to meet the OP's objective.

JPL Premium Member join:2007-04-04 Downingtown, PA	JPL Premium Member 2018-May-24 11:22 am That's a sledgehammer solution, though. I just want the ability to crave a pin to be able to access YouTube via the STB. That's it. I'1000 non looking for YouTube to do parental controls, or even content filtering - equally nice every bit both of those would be - I'm simply looking for Verizon to put an option on the STB to require the utilize of a pivot before being able to access whatsoever of the widgets. Shouldn't be that hard to do. They do information technology with linear aqueduct feeds... they do it with VOD (including a whole separate option to require a pin to purchase VOD while not affecting your ability to watch complimentary on demand). There is simply no reason they can't offer upwardly the aforementioned functionality for widgets. Hell, you don't even have to brand widget-specific - brand me crave a pin to access Any of the widgets. That would work for me.
