TV Channel asking for pin, where do I find pin?

[Mimi2much3]

Some TVchannels ask for a PIN code. What does this mean and where do I get this pin?

The PIN code is normally the last 4 digits of your viewing card.

Thank you for your response, where do I find viewing card?

On your SKY Q main box go to Home ~ Settings ~ System info.

In addition you should be able to change it to one more easily remembered

Thanks. Tried several times to change on Sky box, using correct pin; didn't work, was locked out. Have changed it online now and curious if that works. Do we pay for viewing stuff that is only accessible with a pin? Thanks again for your help!

The channels which use a PIN because they are carrying post-watershed content before 21:00 are all subscription services: primarily Sky Atlantic, Comedy, Documentaries and various Sky Cinema options.

There's no additional cost on top of the subscription after entering a PIN unless the content is Box Office PPV (typically an advertised one-off live sporting event) or a film rental/purchase from Sky Store

Ok, thanks so much! Will see if pin works now.
