Does anyone know where I can get the device that stops telly after a specified time period. Have a teenager who keeps putting telly on at all hours, then does not want to get up in the morning.

to be honest i doubt it would take long for your teenager to figure out how to get past the lock... (when i was younger my mum put a lock on our phone... it took us all of 2 days to figure out how to bypass it!)
just tell them straight, if you dont start getting up on time.... then the TV will dissapear (or the plug will anyway ) 0 -
you could just use a regular plug in timer - obviously this can be bypassed but if you agree a limit with the children then they may accept it and not try to turn it back on again. There have been experiments done with teenagers where a timer type thing was used and most accepted it in a way that a nagging parent wouldn't have been.0
