How to Set Up NOW TV Parental Controls (2025)

1. Set or Update Your Parental PIN

• Go to the NOW website and log in.
• Select My Account, then go to Settings & PINs.
• Under Parental PIN, click Manage PIN.
• Create a 4-digit PIN and save your changes.

This PIN will be required to watch content above the set age restriction.

 

2. Apply Age Restrictions to Content

• Stay in Settings & PINs.
• Under Parental PIN, select Set age restrictions.
• Choose from age ratings like U, PG, 12, 15, or 18.
• Save the settings to activate them across your devices.

 

3. Block Specific Categories or Content

• From the NOW interface, go to Parental Controls.
• Use the PIN to enable or block entire channels or on-demand titles by category.
• This helps manage access to genres like horror, mature drama, or explicit content.

 

4. Restrict Purchases with PIN

• Under Settings & PINs, activate the setting to require a PIN for all rentals and purchases.
• This prevents children from accidentally or intentionally buying new content.

 

5. Control Device Access

• Log in to My Account > Devices.
• Review which devices are linked to the NOW account.
• Remove any unfamiliar or unapproved devices.

 

6. Review Viewing History
