===Convenience features=== ====Controls on the box==== Some models have controls on the box, as well as on the [[remote control]]. This is useful should the user lose the remote or if the batteries age. ====Remote controls that work with other TVs==== Some [[remote control]]s can also control some basic functions of various brands of TVs. This allows the user to use just one remote to turn the TV on and off, adjust volume, or switch between digital and analogue TV channels or between [[Digital terrestrial television|terrestrial]] and [[Streaming television|internet]] channels. ====Parental locks==== The [[parental controls|parental lock]] or [[Internet filter|content filters]] allow users over 18 years old to block access to channels that are not appropriate for children, using a [[personal identification number]]. Some boxes simply block all channels, while others allow the user to restrict access to chosen channels not suitable for children below certain ages.
