Features, settings & updates

How do I change the settings as Hulu via Roku will not let access certain movies due to age requirements. I had bought Roku for my underaged daughter but want to stream some movies but when connected to Hulu, I am only accessing kids material. Thanks

Roku's parental age settings are located in the PIN settings when you log into your Roku account at https://my.roku.com. You can set a PIN and choose when it will be required.  (I'd suggest that anyone with small children should set a PIN and have it required when making a purchase and when installing a channel.)

Below the PIN setting you can set parental controls but note they only apply to programs accessed through Roku's own The Roku Channel.  For any other channel you need to check with the channel itself to see what parental control provisions, if any, they offer.

It sounds like you must have a restriction set up on Hulu.  You'll need to check with Hulu to see if you can sidestep it.

It appears you can create seperate profiles for Hulu (kids profile and parents)

This is true, but I can find no info on the Hulu site indicating you can prevent a user from logging into a non-kids profile.  I hope it's there and I just missed it, otherwise you're trusting your kid to only choose the Kids profile.
