"Special" TV Channels

We have digital cable. Throughout the day, I have it set on PBS, channel 002. I keep the remote in another room because the kids have hit buttons & ordered 4 movies before...the same darn movie, at that. That is like $20 or more added on to my bill. Here's my fear; they can reach the lower button on the box. This button takes the channels down. So normally they hit it twice & it takes them to the 900 channels. These 900 channels happen to be the pay per view "Adult" movies. Yep. My fear is that I will walk in to the room one day & see something interesting on the TV because they ordered it somehow. I was in the kitchen this morning & when I walked back in to the living room, it was on the Playboy Channel. It was just the black screen, but it had "Playboy Channel" in big white letters across it.

I have got to see some really colorful titles, though. I won't share them here...again, for fear of embarrassing anyone. But seriously, some of these titles are hilarious! So our TV is mounted on the wall, in the living room, with my blinds open & I'm praying they don't buy one of these channels & someone decides to visit & look in the window. Yikes! Can you say, CPS?

They sell plastic guards for electronics. If you look on One Step Ahead's website you can see, TV, DVD and VCR guards. You can check the sizes to see what would fit your box the best. We have them on our Direct TV box and Blu-Ray player and the kids can't push any buttons.
