Re: Movies fixed?

Its true!

I can now use Delay TV, TV guide etc etc while watching Sky Movies on my V+.

BUT - it still asks you to enter your PIN when changing to another Sky Movies channel (even after 9pm!)

Surely it has to though? What if the kids came down during the night while it's tuned to one Sky Movies channel and were able to watch all the others without PIN protection? That just wouldn't work.

What if you don't have kids?

Its great to see that VM have taken a big step to fix this issue, but having to re-enter my PIN every time I switch from one Sky Movie channel to another is bat-**** annoying.

Do Sky customers have to re-enter their PIN every time they switch from one movie channel to another? Or is it just VM who have set it up like this?

STOP PRESS - I can now switch between Sky movie channels without it asking me for a PIN number. Not sure why it was asking me for PINs eariler.

When does the watershed end then? I thought it was 9pm and both my V+ and V Pace boxes were nagging me for PINs after 9 tonight.

Re: Movies fixed?

ITC rules state that a 15 certificate film can be scheduled at 9pm, but 10pm is the earliest for an 18 certificate film.

Re: Movies fixed?

Re: Movies fixed?

Apparently there was some problems yesterday with the new system, so they have reverted back to the Red Button approach while they investigate
