Q: remove restriction on specific apps
The restrictions, as implemented are not very useful. As a parent I would like to set up Apple TV to restrict purchases in iTunes, and restrict content that is not appropriate for children. Locking out all apps without entering the same passcode that implements the same restrictions that I would like enforced makes the passcode useless - or Apple TV in general useless since they can not have access to the apps without the password. I have configured Apple TV to hide all apps except Netflix. Netflix has a child setting that allows children to only see appropriate content. However, to access Netflix they need the password. Once they have the password, they can remove any restriction. If Apple TV implemented the same G or PG restriction in Netflix, or simply locked the Netflix app to the child account (without entering the password), that would be much better.
