Yes, you can add a Purchase PIN to block all On Demand and Pay-Per-View rentals. See below for steps to add a Purchase PIN for different types of service.

Good to know:

  • The Purchase PIN will only affect the box you set it up on so if you have multiple boxes, you may want to set up the lock on each one.
  • If you’ve set up other parental controls, such as a block on a channel or rating, these will also apply to On Demand and Pay-Per-View rentals.

  1. From the main EPICO menu, select Settings ⚙.
  2. Select Parental Controls.
  3. Select Purchase locks.
  4. Enter your PIN, or set one up when prompted.
  5. Select Yes.
