Why do I want to set up a PIN?
Your converter box is capable of receiving programming that can incur additional charges such as certain Video OnDemand movies and Pay-Per-View. In addition some programming may be unsuitable for young children. You have the ability to create a PIN number so only people with the PIN are able to order programs that cost additional money and/or view adult programming. It is your responsibility as the account holder to set and maintain these PIN numbers. Any purchases made are the financial responsibility of the account holder.
