Comments about Hopscotch Technology Hopscotch Technology BOB1 Tv Time Manager:
The website description fooled me a bit. I mistakenly thought that when choosing the daily time allowance, each day of the week could have its own allowance. NOT. It's the same for each day. Version II needs to allow programming different time limits for each day, and needs a remote control for overrides/programming with on-screen display!
