Pin Protection Always On But Turned Off
Ok Daft Question Time
When I watch any movie in the daytime, unless it is a Disney, I have to input my pin no.
Now I have gone to Services, removed all the Chanel's and saves it. I have also hit the blue button and turned off pin restrictions, so no Channels are pin protected and all restrictions are off. Yet I still have to put the damn pin no in.
Any suggestions??

If you watch a movie before its watershed then you'll get prompted for a PIN.

Yes, you cannot override the out of watershed PIN protection, it is an OFCOM requirement.

Re: Pin Protection Always On But Turned Off
The best way is to change to any easily entered PIN. 1,1,1,1 or 9,9,9,9 depending on the length of your thumb.
