Product Description:
Efficient management of time is perhaps the largest human folly. Teach you children how to use their time wisely. BOB from Hopscotch Technology is a great way to help you do so. Television or computer use is an important part of our lives, but it should not be the only part. BOB is a simple hardware solution to the "too much TV" issue, bringing balance to electronic media use in our homes. BOB helps parents monitor and manage the time their children spend using in-home media. BOB is an easy to use, small device that sits next to a TV, video-game system or computer. The power cord from one of these devices plugs into the back of BOB and is locked in place. Then, BOB plugs into an electrical outlet. After set up, a process that takes about three minutes, the machine monitors the amount of time a child spends using that media device. Parents decide an acceptable amount of viewing time for each child per day or week. Specific time periods can be blocked entirely for studying, chores, family time, or sleeping. Each child in the house for up to 6 users has a four-digit PIN that they enter before they can turn on the attached device. BOB tracks the time used. A master pin allows a parent to turn on the connected device at any time. When a child's preset viewing time expires, BOB shuts off the attached TV, video-game system or computer and won't allow it to be turned on by that user for the remainder of the day or week.Time reporting for every userTime-period blocking (to prevent media use at certain times of the day)BOB works with all TVs (including large screens), gaming stations, and computersBig, easy to use, illuminated keypad for the entire family - even in the dark!Tamper proof - DurableHopscotch Technology 1-year warranty

- I Love BOB!
I Love BOB.
I researched all the time management devices and chose BOB.I've owned and used BOB for 8 months now and am very happy with the purchase.It does everything it says it does.It also helps the kid organize their time better.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.There is never any arguing anymore and we don't have to constantly ...

Mu sun is very smart. He knows how to bypass things like this. So he just went to the store and bought a new cable for the tv and blugged it into the wall!! WOW THIS SUCKS!!
Rating: - Must be work'in right....
Easy to set up, easy to maintain and change, kids hate it......SUCCESS!!!Would highly recommend if you have a case of the "brain-to-mush" electronic blues.Now I just say, "....don't blame me, blame BOB!"
Rating: - BOB is a lifesaver!
We absolutely love BOB.The kids hate it though!We found it difficult to monitor the time on the computer, tv and PS2 for three kids.Especially if we were limiting time because of poor behavior, etc.Now, everyone knows where they stand and it's all equal.No more fighting.I wish we had heard of it sooner.
Rating: - Great time manager for the whole family.
bob - Time Manager for the computer and tv has been a great tool for time management for my family. Simple to use. Just set it with password and don't say a word. It takes care of the rest. No yelling at your kids to get off the tv or computer. It does all the work for you. Gives a warning and Just cuts off.
