Games consoles run earlier versions of the Showmax app which uses a different Parental PIN system and Profile Age Restrictions.

The Parental PIN system for the older apps works on the basis that all profiles need a unique PIN to provide security for all profiles. This stops any user from entering another person's profile without the PIN. You can set the profile PINs for your app on the following link: showmax.com/settings

PLEASE NOTE: Whilst the older PIN system stops individual users getting into other profiles - you may still wish to set an appropriate Profile Age Restriction for a profile to ensure the content is suitable. The older Showmax app operates slightly different from showmax.com and mobile apps.

You can still create/ edit profiles using the ‘’Manage Profiles’’ system as can be found on the Showmax.com site. However, please note:

If you select age groups 2-4 or 5-6 for a profile on Showmax.com your V1 app will display content aged 2-6 for that profile

If you select age groups 7-9 or 10-12 for a profile on Showmax.com your V1 app will display content aged 7-12 for that profile

If you select age groups 13-17 for a profile on Showmax.com your V1 app will display content aged 13-17 for that profile

If you select age groups Adult for a profile on Showmax.com your V1 app will display content aged 18+ for that profile
