But stopping that can be a pain. Hisense may have a better option: the first "Safe Streaming"
remote control.

Hisense has teamed up with A Parent Media Co Inc, which owns the Kidoodle TV service, to deliver kid-friendly shows to its Vidaa TV operating system alongside the aforementioned remote. It'll be available across the entire
2026 TV range.

Rather than try to screen out dodgy stuff across your smart TV apps and channels, Hisense's solution removes them altogether. The kids can watch thousands of episodes on Vidaa Kids, and the remote is there to help them
find their favorites such as Spongebob Squarepants , PAW Patrol: Pup Tales , Baby Shark and many more. There are over 50,000 episodes in total.

Sometimes parking a toddler in front of PAW Patrol is exactly what
you need so you can prepare a meal, put a laundry load on or just get a few minutes' break.

But my kids didn't have access to the streaming and live channels today's smart TVs have; there's no way I'd leave young kids in front of the TV
without supervision or a lot of parental controls switched on. You may like Google TV could get Wii-style pointy controls, like LG's divisive Magic

What Hisense is offering here is an easier life for parents of young
children: rather than having to block specific apps on your TV or PIN-protect profiles in multiple apps, you can simply give the kids the Safe Streaming remote and let them get on with it.

Because it's all in one app you don't need to spend any time configuring the apps the grown-ups use, and there's no possibility of the kids getting frustrated across multiple streaming services.
