DSL TV provider HomeChoice has launched a specially designed remote control for children to use.

'MiniMote' is a brightly coloured unit designed to protect underage viewers from accessing unsuitable channels, such as those with an adult theme. Users are restricted to channels including Boomerang, Nickelodeon, CBeebies and CBBC.
The unit will also allow users to access HomeChoice's interactive children's services, such as Scamp and Disney Treasures.
