We offer parental controls for all of the television and Internet services that come into your home.

Television Control Resource		Mediacom Resources
Parents cannot always be there to manage and control their children's television viewing. Mediacom provides a variety of options to manage and control television viewing. We also include additional resources that parents can visit to find out additional information and learn how to set limits and controls.		Mediacom Installed Filter For customers with Broadcast Basic or Family Cable TV service, Mediacom can install a filter, often referred to as a trap, on the cable equipment outside the home. This filter will block unwanted channels until the device is removed. Filters may impact reception on adjacent channels, and there are some limitations on the number of traps installed. There is no charge for installation.
