## What is TVCP Guardian Parental Control?

PARENTAL CONTROL FOR ANDROID TV & GOOGLE TV

Manage your child’s TV screen time and access from your phone.

Control up to 5 TVs from one account, each with its own rules.

TVCP Guardian is the parent app for managing how your child uses the family TV. Set screen-time limits, block selected apps, lock the TV and create more consistent bedtime routines.

TVCP Guardian isn’t a traditional TV remote for changing channels or adjusting the volume. It’s a parental control app designed specifically for parents.

IMPORTANT: TWO APPS ARE REQUIRED

TVCP works with two connected apps:

1. Install TVCP Guardian on the parent’s phone.
2. Install TVCP on your Android TV or Google TV.
3. Scan the QR code shown on the TV to connect both apps.

Once connected, you can manage your child’s TV access and parental control settings directly from your phone.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

SET TV SCREEN-TIME LIMITS

Choose how long your child can watch TV. When the available screen time ends, TVCP automatically locks the television.

LOCK OR UNLOCK THE TV

Lock the TV from your phone when screen time is over, it’s time for homework or bedtime begins. You can unlock it from your phone too.

SET A WEEKLY SCHEDULE

Choose the days and hours the TV is unlocked. The rest of the time it locks by itself.

BLOCK APPS ON THE TV

Choose which installed apps your child can use. Block games, streaming apps or other apps you don’t want available. App blocking doesn’t work on every TV yet.

DAILY APP LIMITS

Give each app its own time for each day of the week. When the time is up, the TV closes the app. Daily app limits need Activity turned on. Like app blocking, they don’t work on every TV yet.

SEE HOW THE TV GETS USED (FREE)

Turn on Activity to see which apps were used on the TV and for how long. Activity is free for every family, with or without a subscription.

SET A TV SLEEP TIMER

Choose when TV time should end automatically. Sleep needs Advanced Protection on the TV. Any TV's timer can end in a lock.

MANAGE PARENTAL CONTROLS FROM YOUR PHONE

All parental controls are available in TVCP Guardian. You don’t need to take away the remote or open the settings directly on the TV.

Set the rules once.
Manage them from your phone.
Help your child build healthier TV habits.

TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION

A 7-day trial may be available to eligible new subscribers.

The trial includes:

• TV screen-time management
• TV lock
• Weekly schedule
• App blocking
• Daily app limits
• Sleep timer

After the trial, an active subscription is required to continue using these parental control features. Activity stays free.

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your App Store account settings.

COMPATIBILITY

TVCP works with compatible Android TV and Google TV devices.

The TVCP app must be installed on the television, and TVCP Guardian must be installed on the parent’s phone.

### 5/5 — Much Better Control Than What TVs or Streamers Offer

*2026-11-03*

I’ve tried using all sorts of parental controls that my TVs and streaming boxes offer with little to no success. This app allows very specific control thru my phone so I don’t have to be home to use it or make changes. I can also completely lock down a TV where my child cannot reset the TV settings after a number of failed PIN attempts.

### 1/5 — No time-based option

*2026-05-19*

Seriously? No way to set a specific time the TV locks? Only a timer that I have to set everyday? Unbelievable.

**Developer response:** Hi There! We have added a schedule that you can set for your TV. The schedule sets when the TV is watchable and the rest of the time the TV stays locked. Thanks again for your feedback.
