Pin locked problems
Every time I try and watch a sky movie or TV program I am getting "your pin has been entered incorrectly 3 times, pin locked, please try again in 10 minutes". Problem is, I haven't tried to enter a pin at all! I get the same message on the parental settings page. Anyone else had this??

Re: Pin locked problems
Hello @Ruthturner25,
Thanks for taking the time to join our Community and make your first post though we are sorry to see this is to report issues you're having with the parental controls on your Sky Stream 😕
I can appreciate this is very frustrating and I'd like to help get this sorted for you. I'll send you an invite to a private chat shortly and we can discuss this further.

Re: Pin locked problems
I have the same issue constantly. It's becoming a major issue. Even when I shut down and wait 10 minutes it doesn't unlock.
