Thanks Chris, I would assume that it's the same on Sky (it's 16 years since I was with them!)

So I don't think it's got anything to do with who regulates the channel.
Interesting, if this is the case, I would have thought that Ofcom would have insisted on Pin Protection as a condition of their DTT licence.

Obviously, toddlers shouldn't be viewing any material of this type, but if any non regulated porn is viewed, I would be even more concerned as it may be more explicit or extreme.
