Channels that want to show post-watershed content during the day have to be pin protected and the pin has to be entered at the start of each of these shows that meet the criteria prior to the watershed.

You definitely shouldn't get a PIN challenge 'each time I change a channel'. As @MarkGoldsmith indicates, Mandatory Daytime Protection is applicable any time the channel you are changing to is carrying any content above a 12 certificate or age rating, because that's the only way the channel owner can broadcast it before 21:00 (Glass/Stream counts as broadcasting)
Those channels are typically Sky Max (sometimes), Atlantic (most of the time), Comedy, Documentaries and most of the Sky Cinema versions.
