TV Parental Controls Tizen OS.

If you have a young child and want to control the content they have access to and see, parental controls on your TV are key. You could enable these on each app individually, but that can a bit of a pain, and most of the best TVs come equipped with their own special parental controls to streamline app access, restricted content, and more.
