Hey guys Im trying to figure out a work around for the PPV lock. Now I have small children who like to "play" with the remote so I locked out the PPV channels. Now I find it strange that when you go to the TV shows area and you say go to Nick Jr and click on one of their free show it still makes you enter your code. Is there away to only make you enter the code when the program costs $? This way the kids can go to the TV show area and start a show with out having to enter the lock code. Thanks guys.

You can lock it by ratings but that would go for everything not just PPV. Currently there is not away to lock out only the pay options but I will pass that along.
Wait a min...Something is not right...it sounds like you ALSO put a lock on those other channels as well.
I lock out EVERY CHANNEL that is not apart of my programing package and I never experience what you describe.

Call Dish network and have them help you unlock the channels. I had a customer who had locks on all channels and he called Dish and got it fixed.
He has selected "Lock PPV" and Dish treats all the Dish on Demand content as PPV even if it is "free."
One fairly draconian thing I did was ask the chat CSR to set my account PPV limit to ZERO. Now nobody, locks or no locks, can download something that costs extra. But I can still watch the free stuff.
Yep this is correct. It looks like Dish considers on demand as PPV. Hopefully Zach can pass this along.
