ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods that may securely control access to device functions are disclosed. A request is received to enable a feature of the device. In one embodiment, the device may be a set top box, for example. The device determines whether the feature is disabled, whether the feature can be enabled with authorization and whether a requester is authorized to enable the feature of the device. If the feature is disabled, if the feature can be enabled with authorization and if the requester is authorized to enable the feature of the device, then the feature of the device is enabled.
