Whatever the argument is around whether they should be blocked by default, the end responsibility is still that of the parent.

I think it's a bit too easy to say that stuff should be blocked by default. Personally, I object to it. Parents need to take responsibility. Regardless of whether a kid can watch porn or not, they should probably be asleep (and therefore not watching *anything* when the porn channels broadcast).
Paul has suggested turning the power off. Fair enough that it's not ideal to get toddlers playing around sockets (although it's worth pointing out that the UK 3 Pin design is arguably the safest in the world, and I've seen experts argue that it's perfectly safe even for kids), but it's perfectly possible to disable a freeview box or TV without touching the mains. Just remove the aerial or the box itself. This also works for any other devices, such as tablets or phones.
