Getting rid of PIN protection

Can anyone help, I have turned off all the settings to remove the PIN protection but it still asks me on certain channels for it. 

How do I stop this?

@Nicky2606 

If you're watching age restricted content pre watershed then it'll always ask for the pin regardless of your settings. It is an Ofcom requirement that Sky must adhere to and cannot be overriden by Sky or you.

Change your PIN to something simple like "1111" (unless you've got children in the house that you want to restrict access )
