sky pin

It tends to prompt you to enter your PIN at the start of the program, but no other time. I have only noticed this on Elite TV, though.

Another one here without any form of PIN protection. Most odd, but I suspect it might have something to do with the new $ky cards currently being issued, as another poster already suggested.

No pin protection on my sky box either l am still using the old card so it maybe something to do with the new card.

i have my new card and there was no request for pin last nite. but if u say it has started from this morning i will have a look 2nite

Sometimes the pin comes up on these channels but if you switch you sky box off and then back on after a minute or so it should be fine. I have this problem if I have a 900 channel on and the electricity goes off and you switch your box back on it may sometimes have pin protected on it but a simple off and on the the socket switch should do the trick. Hope this will help you all.

They seem fine on mine. Go into the age restriction and change the settings on there. This has randomly happened to me a few times before and that's all I had to do to fix it.

you must have a setting on your skybox blocking the channels without a pin. this hasnt happened to me so other than that dont know what's going on. ive had the babechannels on several times and not once have i been asked for a pin. and im not blocked from anything

the only thing i had was it flashed up for half a second then disappeared without me touching a thing and that was 2 weeks back

Doubt they'll put in the pin protection and then make the content harder, ofcom will see to that never happens lol.

it happened at around 5.15 in the morning when i got in from work, so no settings had been changed, and no new sky card yet.

this morning/last night, totally free to roam again, just one of those things............
