Press Home on Sky control. Go to settings. Parental Control, click, enter your pin and turn off everything. This way you won't br asked for a pin when you go to certain channels

OP stated they had done that.  The question was already answered why prompts still appear.

Mandatory Daytime Protection still applies for any channel broadcasting post-watershed content before 21:00

That's typically Sky Atlantic, Comedy, Documentaries and most of the Sky Cinema channels.

53 years old this year yet still treated like a child and charged an extortionate amount for the privilege.

Well done Ofcom and Sky.

I've checked and my mum said it was OK to post this message. Thanks.

@Moz1984- 

It's legislation. Ask your Mum if you can get your MP on the case. 

[Moz1984-]

That maybe, but it's pointless legislation.

If you have children that have access then I understand, but an adult should be able to make their own decisions. 

There are plenty of legislation on the statute books, which you are obviously a big fan of, but many of them are a complete waste of everyone's time, much like this conversation.

Where have I said that? I actually agree with you but as I think something has already said on this thread Ofcom would come down on Sky like a ton of bricks if they didn't abide with it.

I apologise if I've jumped to an incorrect conclusion. 

But one thing I have noticed is that this doesn't occur with Amazon,  Netflix,  etc.

I'm sure you're only asked once.

I appreciate you are not a Sky employee but I wonder if it's Skys interpretation of the legislation?

Hi @Moz1984-   If you could download or watch live on Amazon or Netflix, the rules would be the same.

None of those services existed when the relevant legislation was drafted: domestic broadband internet access didn't exist two decades ago, and dial-up couldn't possibly support video streaming.

I wonder if it's Skys interpretation of the legislation?

No: it's the long-established principle that Sky is a regulated broadcaster and so is subject to the Broadcasting Code.
