🔒 Parental controls
These lock Orbit on this phone (PIN, curfew, daily time, blocked app buttons). They do not change the TV’s own parental PIN or store rating settings.

Tips
- Roku: D-pad, OK, Home, Back, volume, and apps should work on the default “Limited” control setting — no TV setup needed. (Orbit uses Roku’s private listening-style link for that.)
- Fire TV: Full remote (arrows, OK, Back, Home, Menu, volume, power, play) and every installed app under “Show all apps”. Pair the Fire TV once with the PIN shown on the TV.
- Apple TV: Pair Apple’s Control Center / Apple TV Remote with the code on the TV. Orbit on the phone can’t send Companion Link commands by itself.
- Your TV list and parental PIN stay on this phone only.
