Re: Age restriction
@Justgeorge If you are watching age restricted content pre watershed then it'll always ask for the pin regardless of your settings
it's an ofcom regulation requirement that Sky must adhere to and cannot be override by sky or the customer
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-2/mandatory-daytime-protection#M1014
certain channels like Sky Atlantic and Sky Comedy are taking advantage of a rule change that allows them to broadcast age restricted content pre watershed providing they apply Mandatory daytime protection , that cannot be overridden by the the customer , it seems that Sky have decided to apply this rule to each individual program that the rules apply to rather than the channel, so this means that if you have entered the pin to access the channel and the following program is also age restricted you will be asked to enter the pin again when that program starts even though you are already on the channel

Re: Age restriction
No Disney + doesn't give me the option of my pin, even after the watershed it will not allow me to view, so how f do I I change this?

Re: Age restriction
@Justgeorge So just to clarify the first issue is with the Disney Plus app and not the linear cinema channel (305)?
