pin protection on sky channels (merged thread)

Hi guys, just reset my box for the first time in ages as it was playing up and have noticed that Sky have turned on the Pin Protection facility on all the FtA channels, anyone else experiencing this? Even though I have it switched off on the settings for the box.

No PP on mine at the mo

I had to switch my box of at the mains to reset it as was acting up as hadn't been switched off in a few months and everyting was fine before i did it. this has only happened since the box came back on after downloading new software and epg. it's very strange.
like youcan understand it with the ppv channels but not this, or is this BB getting one back on us lol

This happens alot guys, should be alright soon.

cheers for that colbert!!

To be honest , the sooner this is done the better!
Of course not a ppv , instead just like the movies during the day!
Then we could sort out the girls from the women, you no the ones always saying they can not do this and that, then you see someone else on that channel or another channel doing what you asked!

just switched over to the 2 channels and both are asking for a pin code, is it just my sky box going nuts or anyone else having the same problem?

It did not ask me for a pin code.
