"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.

Re: Turn off pin protected programms

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 

Moving home will not have influenced this.

Well yes I did assume that 

I was just stating that that is when it changed 👀
