Wankers at Sky TV

[NoBBy]

We have sky plus which is normaly great. However Sky in their wisdom have imposed a pin number on everyone. Any program with a 12 rating and above recorded before 10pm and anything recored manually now needs a pin number entered before you can watch it. The pin number is the last 4 numbers on your sky card. But guess what it does not work.

Judging by the 90 minute que on the sky help line everone else is having the problems. Why do we have to be treated like bloody kids. :bang:

Not had this problem. When did they bring that little gem in?

just pressed the record button on my sky+ to record a 15 movie starting at 830pm and hasnt asked for my pin no.infact started recording and no pin no required or asked for

See! See! Parental control on my TiVo is user configurable. I've set it to block access to anything but kids channels at any time, and once the user-set pin number is entered it unlocks it. It then auto-locks again if the remote isn't used for 4 hours.

Sky are getting it all wrong.

Don?t worry it will be coming to a sky+ box near you soon.

There is a software upgrade that your box downloads without you knowing. It Changes the channel info screen appearance also. It has different graphics and it?s a lighter shade of blue.

Tonight the queue was down to 53 minutes, still to bloody long.

I had a fault with my sky box a few months ago the twats were gonna charge me for a new box and call out on the advice from someone on here(sorry can't remember who)I said cancel my subs low and behold a manager came on the phone and said they'd sort it foc which they did give it a try Nobbs worked for me

Wife had same problem

Contacted sky who gave her the pin number....NOT the same as the last four digits!

 

[Duck n Dive]

Ah that explains it!

I wondered why our sky box had suddenly started asking for pin's on some films when all the parental controls are off.

Funny thing is it seems only to be for films on the TCM channel!!! :dunno:

Umm, had that, no change. In fact, had that on the OLD sky box we got relocated too. No problems there either.
