Streaming with Internet opens the door to unlimited content—but for families, it’s important to control what children can access. That’s where Formuler Parental Controls come in. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to enable and customize these features so your kids only see what’s age-appropriate.
What Are Parental Controls?
Formuler’s built-in parental control features allow you to:
- Restrict adult or unwanted content.
- Lock apps with a password or PIN.

These tools are especially useful on devices like the Z11 Pro Max and Z11 Pro, which are widely used for IPTV streaming.

Hello.
Owner of a Formuler z10 SE. Mytvonline2.
I find it difficult to follow on Q4. I cant seem to block access to adult content from the film section. Instructions are not clear. Its easy to block TV channels though. Not sure if I should follow parental control from the main Formuler menu but either way doesnt seem to work for me. Help.
Thanks for reaching out! I understand the confusion — blocking adult content in the Film (VOD) section of MyTVOnline2 can be a bit tricky compared to blocking TV channels.
Here’s what you can do:
Open MyTVOnline2 → go to Settings ⚙️
Select Parental Control
Enable Parental Control (you’ll be asked to set or enter a PIN)
Once enabled, go to the VOD or Movies section → highlight the category or specific title you want to restrict.
Press the Menu (☰) button on your remote → choose Lock Category or Lock Content (this will depend on your service provider and content layout).
If you only locked TV channels earlier, you’ll need to repeat the process inside the VOD section — each content type (Live TV, VOD, Series) has its own parental lock options.
