Sky Shield Launched

[Bry]

Sky has now launched its parental controls system, Sky Shield. The new family friendly filters are free to all Sky Broadband customers and as they are network based work for all devices using the homes broadband connection.

Currently it is default to off but, it will be default to on next year.

To be honest it looks quite good. 3 default settings base don age ratings. With a 4th option to customise it and a 5th to turn it off completely.

Plenty of choice with it and easy to configure. Should be good for most people....

Not looked, but can it be set to times? And if you download films through the skybox that are 18 rated but have the filter on, does it still let you?

No option to schedule it.
No idea on second point..

Ignore, found it. Nice to see that they're hiding it!

So, another way to be spied on?
