hey all i'm hoping there's some xbox savvy people here. i need to set my xbox so that it can NOT be used between 2AM and 9AM. does anyone know of any way i could go about this? i have seen the family timer option, but this does not do what i need. i need to have the thing be completely disabled between the specified hours, not just available for a set number of hours a day. any tips?


TIA!!

The only thing I can suggest is hide the power supply or AV cable so that the people intending to use it between those hours, can't.

my teacher has his kids power and tv and internet running through his room, and in his room has all of them on timers you could potentially do something like that.

There was a product i believe that clips onto the power source that had a lock on it. So you could lock it between those hours then unlock it when you need it.
