## Overview

TV Allowance is an automated TV and video game time manager that empowers children to self-regulate their screen usage through a weekly allowance system, reducing parental conflicts and encouraging healthier, balanced lifestyles.

## Description

The TV Allowance is a simple device which allows families to limit video game and TV viewing time. Each child chooses a 4-digit PIN to turn on the TV. That's it! How It Works: The TV Allowance is a device that connects between a television and its supply of electricity. The TV Allowance controls the amount of time the television is allowed to be turned on. o Set blackout times to prevent usage during certain time. o Set a weekly TV Allowance for up to 6 children. o Each child is given a personalized 4-digit code that is entered to access the TV. o The parental administration code is used in setup and to use the TV without deducting anyone's allowance. o The TV Allowance may also be used to control computer time by plugging in the computer monitor. As children use up time watching TV, their account is debited. When the TV is shut off, the unit stops deducting time from that child's account. When all of the time is used up, the TV shuts off and will not turn back on until the beginning of the next week when the allowance is automatically restored. You can optionally set any remaining time to be added to the next week. This way a child can save up time for special occasions. Blackout times can be set to block TV usage during homework or past bedtime hours. A parental override code is available to allow the use of the TV without debiting anyone's account. Unused time may be rolled over to the next week or eliminated. Please Note: The TV Allowance requires that the TV or Video Game Console draws at least 50 watts of power. Smaller TVs don't draw enough power for the TV Allowance to recognize that they are turned on. The TV Allowance then turns off thinking that the child has turned off the TV and forgot to logout of the TV Allowance. The workaround is to attach another electrical device like a small lamp to it as well. This will draw enough power for the TVAllowance to work properly.

## Features

- Fewer arguments - You will no longer have to keep asking your child to turn off the TV each day.
- Empowerment - Your children will be able to manage their own TV time, learning budgeting, decision making and prioritizing.
- Free Time - Your children will spend more time playing sports, reading, etc. This will lead to healthier children!
- Automatic - This is the only TV time management solution that will automatically renew the weekly allowance.
- The TV Allowance will help your children manage their own time on the TV or playing video games.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! Will buy again! Great way to solve the problem of too much TV!
*by R***Y on June 28, 2015*

We've only had this a week, but so far, it works like a charm! My boys (5 & 9) don't fight as much about who gets to control the TV. Control belongs to whomever is using their code. And it's teaching my younger son more about planning ahead & conserving. He ran out of time this week, and we talked about how he could earn some extra, and how he might be more conservative with it next week. He voluntarily cleared the counter (not normally his chore) in order to get a little extra time for the weekend. We will be using a reward system to encourage some skills we have been working to learn, and this is a nice way to make TV time more concrete for them (and me- I'm terrible at keeping up with it).We have the system plugged into our newish (bought 2013-14, I think) flat-screen Panasonic TV. Set up was a breeze (just follow the booklet), and the cord was long enough to put the system below the TV, with the cord tucked into the shelf below. We had to figure out how to get the TV to come on, which involves leaving the TV turned on when the box gets turned off. If the TV is turned off before the box, then when the kids enter their password, the TV won't turn on (the box shuts itself off first). I'm not sure exactly why, but I guess it has something to do with the smart TV. Entering the parent password solves the problem, though, and no worries. We haven't had any other problems. It's easy to "force" it to change the time someone has available. Like when my son accidentally left the TV on when he came to breakfast on Saturday. I just gave him the 30 minutes back. It's easy.

### ⭐⭐ The potential and concept of this device is wonderful. However
*by J***S on October 27, 2015*

The potential and concept of this device is wonderful. However, it would need to actually function properly to receive it's potential. The instructions are rather frustrating as you will always need the manual to set-up anything. And once you finally have it set up, the child codes don't even work. The master code will turn the unit on and nothing else. I have spent too much time trying to get this thing to function. The website on the back of the manual (www.tvallowance.com) is a dead end. I am definitely returning this item. Don't waste your time!!

### ⭐ Get a wemo instead
*by D***G on June 12, 2018*

If you have young kids, get a Wemo instead. Have it turn off automatically at certain times and have your kids ask for the "password" when they want to use it. Very good tool to get some chores / homework done before they can use it. You can use an app on your phone to turn the outlet on or off. Until they find out what's happening and try a different socket, you're golden.I too grabbed one of these initially, but it wouldn't work with my tv. I see some other reviews about a high-draw required. Even my plasma didn't draw enough for this thing to work.
