Any way to stop Sky Movies asking for a PIN?
Is there any way to stop the Sky movie channels from asking for a PIN all the time during the day?
This makes it awkward to channel surf; I don't recall this happening when I was with Sky (many years ago). |

Nope. It's an OFCOM requirement. If it wasn't there you'd get 'daytime friendly' films i.e. Made for TV rubbish that Sky use to show before the PIN came along.
There was actually a consultation about it being possible for other channels to do it too - but the feedback was negative: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultatio...in-protections |

That was one of the reasons our return to VM for TV ended yesterday after only 6 days. Sky Q doesn't seem to ask for a PIN anywhere as often as the V6 did.

It's ridiculous that a PIN is required, how many adults live together and have to go through this rubbish to watch a movie or whatever.

I was a little surprised that you still channel surf, given the incredible use you make of your V6. This is not the best way of discovering programmes you like, because you end up only watching a small part of your selected programme due to the fact that it has been broadcasting prior to your finding that programme. Far better to select the programmes you want to watch beforehand. Given that your hard drive is so full, why are you channel hopping anyway? |

I could have sworn that the TiVo and/or the V+ allowed you to choose whether to make it ask for a PIN or not, but this is the first time that I've ever had Movies with VM.
Thanks for clarifying that nothing can be done and that it's not something I've missed |

That was only for recordings I am sure, it is on Sky Q anyway. Only broadcasts ask me for a PIN. Once recorded it doesn't ask.
All movies if they are above a PG will ask for a PIN during the day. I find it annoying as there are 3 people in my house and all above 18 so wish there was a way to turn it off. |

The Sky Movies channels generally have PIN access during the day, except for the Sky Family & Sky Disney channels, which should have family friendly content. |

Can you make it stop asking for a PIN for recordings on the V6?

It's in Parental Controls.

That doesn't apply to Sky Cinema channels.
