IPTV for kids: children's TV and family films, with the controls in your hands
Children watch differently from adults. They want cartoons on demand, the same film for the tenth time, and something on the tablet in the car. Parents want all of that without stumbling into programmes meant for grown-ups.
This page covers the kids and family category in King of Stream, how to set up parental locks in your player app so the controls stay in your hands, and how to plan screens so children's viewing does not take over the main TV.

What the kids and family category includes
Pre-school
Gentle programmes for the youngest viewers, ideal for a short wind-down before bed.
Cartoons and children's series
Animated and live-action series for primary-school ages.
Family films
Films the whole household can watch together, in the on-demand library.
Specific children's channels depend on the line-up at the time. If your child has a favourite, ask us before ordering.
How to set up parental controls on IPTV
Parental controls live in your player app, not with the provider, so set them up on each device children use. Most apps work in a similar way:
- Open the app's settings and look for 'Parental control' or 'Lock'.
- Create a PIN that children do not know.
- Lock or hide the categories you do not want them to browse, such as adult or late-night channels.
- On shared tablets and phones, use the device's own child profile and screen-time limits too.
Our player app guide notes which apps have the clearest parental controls.
Planning screens for a family
If children watch in their room while adults watch the main TV, you need two screens playing at once. A tablet in the car counts as a screen while it plays. Our article on how many devices an IPTV subscription covers explains the difference between devices and screens.
The channel line-up depends on broadcasters' distribution rights and can change over time. Specific channels and events are not guaranteed, so ask us before ordering if one matters to you, and use the 7-day money-back guarantee to check.
IPTV for kids: parents' questions
Is there a children-only mode?
That depends on your player app. Many let you hide every category except the ones you choose, behind a PIN.
Can my child watch on a tablet in the car?
Yes, over mobile data or a hotspot. Watch the data allowance: an hour of HD can use 1.5 to 3 GB.
Are adult channels hidden by default?
Not always. Set a PIN and lock adult categories in your player app before children use it.
Can I add a screen just for the children?
Choose the number of screens when you order. Two screens let a child's device and the main TV play at the same time.
Family TV that works for everyone
Choose enough screens, set a PIN in the player app, and let the children pick their own favourites.
