I have to use my pin on sky comedy and sky atlantic everytime despite having a sky signature account

[bobmail]

Is there any way to solve this problem please? All my other sky accounts are fine

It's working as expected, see my FAQ for an explanation

Atlantic, Comedy and Documentaries are taking advantage of a recent change in the Broadcasting Code to transmit 'post-watershed' content before 21:00.  When they are doing so the 'Mandatory Daytime Protection' PIN required by the Code applies: this cannot be removed by a subscriber.

Why is there no option to completely remove this PIN ? our houshold consists entirely of people all over the age of 40.

Ask OFCOM

As @Annie+UK indicates, because there is no provision for that in the relevant regulation and underlying legislation.  Remember that this essentially dates from the 'moral panic' which accompanied the arrival of non-terrestrial television, and consequently isn't particularly rational (and long pre-dates streaming services).
