While we found some substitutions to be a bit comical in certain situations - it was generally very accurate. Honestly, I was amazed. Parents can use the device to set weekly allocations for each family member, helping reduce the negative influence of too much television viewing and also teaching the child to make choices and set priorities. This clever device attaches between the electric plug of our television and the power source, with the TV plug locked inside the device. We found this device a little complicated at first to program, but quickly got used to it and were pleased with the functions.
Parents have a master code to assure they can watch when desired.
