It does everything it says it does. It also helps the kid organize their time better. We have it hooked up to a 42 inch Samsung Flat Panel and it works flawlessly. instead of getting exercise by playing in the sun (kids can be sneaky). I lost the master code once and called customer service and they were really helpful and courteous. It is very sturdy and works well PLUS BOB IS THE ONLY TIME MANAGEMENT DEVICE THAT WILL WORK ON LARGE TV'S OR BIG FLATSCREENS. You can also get reports from it and analyze the tv viewing and it lets you know when the kids are trying to break into it by attempted hacking.
I haven't found any complaints. It is really useful on the weekends when the kids are allowed to stay up later and we go to bed early. yay me). They solved my problem quickly. We can be assured they are not on the television all night and still get our rest. I've owned and used BOB for 8 months now and am very happy with the purchase. We only give each child 1 hour and 4 minutes and it makes them plan and organize and be aware of their television viewing, especially if there is a show on that they really want to watch.
It also helps us during summer days when we are outside doing yardwork, BOB insures that the kids aren't coming back in the back door and watching t.v. I have it connected just to the tv because as long as the tv is under control, it controls the Nintendo Wii, tv viewing and DVD instead of having it control all. This is a great product and worth every penny (even though I got it on sale for nearly half off. I Love BOB.I researched all the time management devices and chose BOB. There is never any arguing anymore and we don't have to constantly check up on the kids every half hour (they are 10 and 11) and tell them to play outside or go to bed. This also insures that my TIVO still is on and records my shows but turns off the t.v so the kids can't watch anything once they use up their time.
He knows how to bypass things like this. WOW THIS SUCKS. Mu sun is very smart. So he just went to the store and bought a new cable for the tv and blugged it into the wall.
Would highly recommend if you have a case of the "brain-to-mush" electronic blues. Easy to set up, easy to maintain and change, kids hate it.SUCCESS. Now I just say, ".don't blame me, blame BOB."
I wish we had heard of it sooner. Especially if we were limiting time because of poor behavior, etc. We found it difficult to monitor the time on the computer, tv and PS2 for three kids. No more fighting. We absolutely love BOB. The kids hate it though. Now, everyone knows where they stand and it's all equal.
Gives a warning and Just cuts off. It takes care of the rest. Just set it with password and don't say a word. It does all the work for you. bob - Time Manager for the computer and tv has been a great tool for time management for my family. Simple to use. No yelling at your kids to get off the tv or computer.
