It controls the video signal for multiple TVs and gaming consoles using coaxial and RCA connections, ensuring that kids learn to budget their time wisely. With a token-based access system and a parental override switch, this timer is the ultimate tool for responsible screen time management. ## Description The PlayLimit is a simple token-based solution for setting limits on the amount of time your kids spend playing video games and watching TV. No More "Turn OFF That TV!" ArgumentsHow can PlayLimit help? Simple. By giving kids tokens for a specific time period, parents set a definite limit on how much TV their kids can watch. What's more, the tokens empower kids to manage their own time, so parents no longer have to be the "time's up!" police. Once children understand their TV limits, parents can encourage other activities such as reading, drawing, and sports to fill the void. Input: (1) Coaxl Cable and (1) RCA (red, white and yellow) Cable Output: (1) Coaxl Cable and (1) RCA (red, white and yellow) Cable Simple Token-activated Operation The PlayLimit system includes 40 tokens — each token allows 15 minutes of game playing or TV viewing.

See the manual for a more detailed connection description.

The inside "lock" and "unlock" switch was stuck, but was easily moved back in forth with a screwdriver and elbow grease. Not exactly pro design, but again, it's 15 bucks.My biggest gripe is the coax inputs, they're in a horizontal configuration, right next to each other, which makes it hard to screw the connectors, we ended up using a wrench. Then the signal was terrible, it was dropping the cable signal, or causing fuzzing or signal disturbance. We unplugged the component connection next to it, and it clear a bit but still kept dropping. So then we replaced the coax cable that came with the device with a coax cable we had, and voila worked perfectly - no more dropping signals. So the Coax cables that come with the box are pretty terrible, spend 5 bucks and buy a decent one.Also we're were able to get this to work with the HDMI connection to our cable box. We left the cable HDMI input plugged into the TV and just intercepted the coax connection to the cable box. When time runs out, it just cuts the cable signal. This does prevent the "paused" and "time running out" little screen displays, but that's not a huge loss.Overall, the device is working well. We instituted a outside play activities, reading books, and doing educational games to earn the tokens, and so far it is working like a charm! It also helps the child see their TV usage and they start to self regulate because they don't want to "use up" all their hard earned TV time. A great way to get your kid a more healthy relationship with media that doesn't need you constantly harping on them about it :) ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Great for an assistive parenting time management tool - lacks true security *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2012* I bought this for my 2 boys (10 and 12) to assist them in keeping track of their video game time while after school and while neither parent was immediately home to assist in "time management" due to careers. We're fairly liberal with video games and TV so this wasn't to be a replacement for proper parenting, but rather a simple tool to keep them doing homework and asking to do additional chores in exchange for time. I was raised in the same way but with quarters and video game arcades. When you're out of tokens, you're out... unless you did something to earn more.Anyway, worked great the first day till one of the boys found that "dropping" the device allowed the supposedly secure cable box to open, this first time was "supposedly" accidental. The website fails to tell you that the back cable holder is secured by a small plastic tab in which the switch to "lock/unlock" is located in the token section which is secured by key. A simple flat head screwdriver would just as easily pop this off if a child were so determined, or in my case a drop of about 2 feet. What is sad is that while my boys are mostly honest (before this device) with how much they spend on playing, no child would ever happily tell a parent they have bypassed the system.Pros:Looks secureDid track timeWas simple to implementCons:lack secure designeasily defeated by determined childWho is this for:Not a parent of older children...younger kids, say 3-7Anyone that is looking to just teach basic time (and money) management skills ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars I liked the idea of being able to use this as ... *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018* I liked the idea of being able to use this as a reward system for my son and video games. I liked that each coin was worth 15min.But the product was not compatible with HDMI. Not a big deal I purchased a converter to be able to use. Well the timer did NOT work with our game system. So my next step was to try to connect it to the T.V. And wouldn’t you know still didn’t work. We hooked it up to our cable and it did work for that. It would shut the cable off after the time was up.I like that it has a pause.I would only recommend it to you if you have a older tv if you are trying to use it for video games.The only reason it got a 3 star from me is because I really liked the concept and it did work with the cable.Just not the reason we got it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/24303348-playlimit-tv-and-video-game-timer](https://www.desertcart.in/products/24303348-playlimit-tv-and-video-game-timer) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
