@LisaR68

Our advice to help reduce the annoyance is to set your pin to something like 1111

Hi @LisaR68

As per the link I posted Streaming Services (like Now TV, Netflix etc) are not subject to the same regulations.

"Now the eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that some of your streaming services don’t appear to have these restrictions…………And you would be right. The Ofcom broadcasting code only covers TV and radio. Sigh."
