Re: Sky witness keeps cutting out
That's expected if they are showing 12+ content during the day before the watershed ( as Sky Witness does regularly).
it's an OFCOM regulation that channels can show this content during the day but the episode must be pin protected so whenever you switch to the channel whilst this content is showing you have to enter your PIN.

Re: Sky witness keeps cutting out
@AntonyP Your duplicate thread asking the very same question has been removed
Sky Witness isn't "Cutting out" as you put it, it is asking for a pin if it is showing post watershed programes before 9pm. This is a Ofcom requirement.

Re: Sky witness keeps cutting out
@AntonyP It is probably a software glitch. At the first sign of any problem it is a good idea to do a restart/reboot which you can do as follows:
Go to Settings > System Management > Resets & Updates > Restart device (do not do a factory reset). It takes about 3 minutes to completely reboot. You will have a blank screen for a couple of minutes before the Sky logo appears so don’t panic when you first start the process.
