Below is a better resolution to an absurd and fantasy land
decision to reprogramming the Micro.

Resolution:  You are the adult! Just tell your children when and when NOT
they
                   are allowed to watch the TV.  Perhaps pasting a Sticky
Note to set
                   with prescribed Days and Times Allowed.

> 2) bedtime, keyed to day-of-week

Resolution:  You are the adult! Walk into their bedroom(s) and shut the TV
off
                   and ground them for a month of NO TV if they dare turn
the TV
                   back on.

                   If you really want to get technical you can purchase a
Timer Unit
                   that you can plu the TV into that you can program to
allow AC
                   to the set.

                   THIS is so Stupid!
