TiVo KidZone Parental Control Service

TiVo is set to announce the new KidZone parental control service, giving parents the ability to control what their kids watch on TV.

Gearlive writes:

"KidZone actually creates virtual TiVo menus and virtual channels, specifically targeted to the children. TiVo partnered with leading parenting and family groups including Common Sense Media and The Parents TV Council to select kid-friendly content for the new service.

Parents have the ability to select from an entire menu of weekly recommendations and automatically record all of those shows.  When TiVo is in Kid Zone mode, it locks out all other programming access by children.  Parents get password-protected ability to decide what’s best for their children to watch and kids get their own space on TiVo to enjoy their favorite shows."

TiVo KidZone will be available in June to users of TiVo set-top boxes, without an additional charge.
