      Has this happened yet? I’m tired of my sneaky kids coming downstairs in the middle of the night to watch TV. I’m searching through my tv settings and can’t find where I can set anything up to restrict the TV being used during specific times. If it has happened is it only for new TVs (I think mine is 3-4 years old) or should I only have to update it to get these settings?

      Please do an update in  which we could have tvs automatically turned off at set times.  Also maybe some way were we can remove apps not n
