IPTV With Kids Channels Families Trust

Family TV Without the Cable Bill

For a Canadian family, the kids' channels are often the part of the TV package that earns its keep. The trouble is that cable and satellite providers tend to put them behind extra "family" or "kids" theme packs, then layer on box-rental fees and a long contract. IPTV takes a different route: every kids channel, the family movie library and 4K quality are bundled into one plan that streams over your existing internet — no dish, no technician, no two-year lock-in.

ApolloGroupTV is built for households, not just single viewers. That means the children's line-up is comprehensive, the on-demand section has the films kids actually ask for, and the apps include the parental controls a parent needs to keep things age-appropriate. Below is exactly what you get and how to set it up safely. If you are new to all this, our what is IPTV guide explains the basics first.

Kids & Family Channels You Get

The children's and family channels Canadian kids grew up with are all here — English and French — covering preschool, cartoons, tweens and educational programming:

This is a sample of the family section — the full kids line-up is far larger. See the complete channels list or our overview of the channels you get with IPTV in Canada.

Kids Movies & Series On Demand

Live channels are great, but kids rarely watch on a schedule. The 160,000+ VOD library includes a deep kids and family section you can start any time — no waiting for a broadcast slot, no recording:

Because it is all on demand, a wet Saturday or a long car ride is sorted in a couple of taps — and the same subscription covers grown-up films for after bedtime.

Parental Controls: Lock Adult Content With a PIN

The IPTV apps used with ApolloGroupTV — IPTV Smarters Pro and TiviMate among them — include a built-in Parental Control. You set a PIN once and the app keeps children inside kid-safe content automatically. Here is what you can lock down:

How to Set Up a Kid-Safe Profile

Getting a safe, child-friendly setup takes only a few minutes after you install your IPTV app:

1. 1

   Install the app & log in

   Add your ApolloGroupTV server URL, username and password to IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate on the device the kids will use.

2. 2

   Open Parental Control settings

   In the app's settings, find Parental Control and set a PIN only the parents know — keep it different from any passcode the child can see.

3. 3

   Lock or hide adult categories

   Select every adult and 18+ category and either PIN-lock or fully hide it, then lock any individual channels you want gated.

4. 4

   Build a kids favourites list

   Add Treehouse, YTV, Family Channel, Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Teletoon and the kids VOD into a Favourites group so children only browse what's safe.

Kids on the Tablet, Sport on the TV — At the Same Time

The classic household conflict — the kids want cartoons, you want the game — disappears with multiple connections. A connection is one simultaneous stream, so a multi-connection plan lets a child watch Treehouse on a tablet while you watch NHL, NFL or NBA on the living-room TVat the very same time. Each device keeps its own profile, favourites layout and parental PIN, so the children's tablet always opens straight into kid-safe content while the main TV stays unrestricted for the adults.

Add as many connections as your household needs — a second screen for the kids, a third for a bedroom, and so on. It is the same idea as a cable box in every room, but without renting hardware. Full options are on the IPTV subscription page.

Value vs a Cable Kids Package

Canadian cable bills add up fast once you stack a base package with a kids theme pack, box rentals and movie add-ons. Here is how a family IPTV plan compares:

Over a year, a family streaming the same kids channels and movies on IPTV can save hundreds of dollars compared with cable plus add-on packs — with more content and no lock-in.
