"What" exactly? Just set your pin to something simple like '1111'. People moaning about entering a simple 4 digit number...... I'll stop there!

It's not about having a simple pin, it's about wanting to let something run in the background that has been recorded - an 18+ boxset for instance. It's ridiculous that Sky make you enter your pin after each episode. You had no need to comment there at all

@KT140486 It's bit Sky making you enter it, they have to follow the rules set by OfCom.

Presumably the channel is now carrying content which requires Mandatory Daytime Protection: this would give them access to a much wider range of programmes to fill their schedule.

My suggestion was a valid one that reduces the "pain" of entering 4 digits to allow you to watch a channel that has had a level of control added to it due the 'law of the land' that Sky are forces to adhere to.  It's a first world problem that for some reason gets people's backs up & I just don't understand why.

I wasn't complaining about entering a "simple pin" and I don’t need to change it 

I literally moved home and suddenly it pops up on every program even tho it's all switched to off 

[Sleepybint]

Yeah I had considered this but it's all the time not just those times , and the shows are the same ones it reruns all the time too 🤷🏻‍♀️

Moving home will not have influenced this.

Well yes I did assume that 

I was just stating that that is when it changed 👀

Bloody stupid that you have to put the pin in for every pin protected channel, once put in it should cover all channels!

Mandatory PIN

A compulsory audience protection tool for

consumers to restrict access to unsuitable

content. This tool cannot be removed by the user and requires a PIN (personal information  number) to be entered each time the user  accesses the content. The PIN must be chosen  by the account holder and allows only those  authorised to view the content.

Mandatory Daytime Protection is ultimately a political  creation and would require political intervention to be revised.
