Sky Movies Pin Numbers

So now if I want to use autoview to record one of these movies when I
am out I am buggered, is that right? As I unserstand it I cant even
leave the box on that channel as the PIN demand comes up when the
watershed passes.

Ever got home a bit early (before the kids, perhaps?) and felt like
watching a really good movie? Or maybe you find the house is quiet, the
night is young and by some freakish good fortune you find yourself sole
controller of the remote? Well, Sky Movies 9 and the brand new Sky
Movies 10 are bringing you more prime time film choices, earlier than
ever before...


From 30th January Sky Movies 9 and the brand new Sky Movies 10 will
bring you a better selection of films starting at 5pm, giving you
prime-time film choices earlier in the evening.

All these great movies will be shown in all their purest un-edited
glory and there's no way the kids can accidentally watch them as
they're all PIN protected.

PIN protection allows you the freedom to watch movies with more adult
themes without restricting these films until the late evening whilst
ensuring that younger kids don't get the opportunity to watch
inappropriate films or view anything without their parents' knowledge.

Simply enter your 4 digit PIN number and the movie will begin, it's as
simple as that!

And the best thing about it is there's absolutely no cost to you, as a
movies subscriber. If you forget your PIN, simply call 08702 404040.

So sit back, relax and let us entertain you!

As I understand it; you can record as normal on Sky+ BUT you have to
enter your PIN when you watch it.

This must be the case, as we have everything above PG rating pin protected
and it records fine.

ISTM you should be able to turn off the pin-requester, especially if
there are no kids in the household.

It does record fine on Sky+, but it's not much good if you want to
record to another device, unattended.

When I cancel Sky shortly, this crap with the PIN will be one of the
reasons I cite, so no doubt I'll be told that there is a fix in the
works.

Apparently there is a 'fix in the works' but it will only enable you to
remove the PIN from existing Sky+ recordings, not from programmes
viewed live - so it will still be impossible to record any
PIN-protected programme from an ordinary Sky box to a VCR. Even if you
are a non-child-owning adult.

wrong way around, once recorded it might be a good idea to need the pin to
wach it.
most wouldn't object to that, but timer recordings - bit stuck with
current method.

Or even if you are a responsible adult whose children go to bed at a
decent hour and anything that has a 12 certificate or more doesnt get
shown to 5 year olds, unlike in chav families where the tv is a
surrogate parent
