Remote control allows parents to restrict access to programs
suitable for a younger audience ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 7
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- YourBroadbandStore, a comprehensive,
one-stop website for consumers and contractors to buy professional
grade telecommunications products, has added the Cricket(TM) Kid's
Remote to its suite of products offered on the site. Manufactured
by Universal Electronics(R), the Cricket Kid's Remote is sold under
the YourBroadbandStore brand name. The Cricket Kid's Remote
provides a fun and effective way for parents to control television
programming to which their children have access. Ten buttons,
imprinted with numbers and unique icons, can be programmed for
direct access to only those channels parents deem suitable for
their children. This remote also features On/Off, Volume, and Mute
controls, as well as a Channel Up/Down key that allows the child to
cycle through all preset channels. "The Cricket Kid's Remote is
simple and fun device that engages the child, while providing
parents with an effective tool for controlling access to
undesirable television programming," said Tom Williams, Vice
President of Marketing and Business Development for
YourBroadbandStore. "The cable and satellite industries have done a
tremendous job in developing their software to help parents control
what children watch. This is just one more device in the parent's
tool box to ensure their kids are watching what they should be
watching. The ability to personalize the Cricket Kid's Remote with
the child's picture makes it a great gift." The included manual
makes programming the Cricket Kid's Remote easy. A three position
switch, located within the screw-secured battery compartment, is
used to set the operating or programming mode for the remote. Set
in "Child Mode," each favorite channel key takes the child directly
to the associated, programmed channel-and the Channel Up/Down key
only cycles through the programmed channels. In "Standard Mode,"
the Channel Up/Down key allows cycling through all available
channels, and "Programming Mode" allows the assignment of new or
additional favorite channels. Designed with child use in mind, the
Cricket Kid's Remote features a colorful, gender-neutral, and
ergonomic design, with rounded edges and an outer rubber ring for
enhanced comfort and durability. A plastic image holder at the top
of the remote can be personalized to display a child's picture,
favorite character, or cartoon. The Cricket Kid's Remote has passed
stringent child safety and durability testing, conducted by
Universal Electronics, to ensure parental peace-of-mind. The remote
works with cable, satellite, and telco video services, and operates
on 2 AAA batteries. About YourBroadbandStore YourBroadbandStore
