Viewings Require PIN

LisaTTRS — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 21:44:28 GMT

All of a sudden when viewing a recorded series it asks for my PIN for every episode.

PIN has always been set up but never done this before and just changed overnight.

Even with parental controls off it's still asks for a PIN.

Very annoying. Any ideas?

Hi @LisaTTRS

Afraid pin entry will always be required on occasions.

Hi @oldfella,

Just really annoying as this is stuff we are watching @10PM so I can't see why it's an issue and all of a sudden started happening.

Nothing you can do about it, but you can make your life simpler if you change your PIN to something like '1111'
