Why is the new kids app asking for a PIN number to watch everything? I have a parental pin switched on to restrict to under 12. I tried playing octonaughts and it asks for the parental pin.

Hi @Anonymous User,
I was just wondering if there was an update to this issue? It's been a few months and this is still not resolved. I have parental controls set to PG, yet my PIN is asked for to watch Paw Patrol!
Thanks,
Dan

Sorry to ###### an old thread, are there any updates on this issue? We've just purchased a nowtv box with a 4 month kids pass. After setting the parental pin, we cant watch any shows - including things that clearly are ok from cbeebies. In oprder to make the device viable, we've removed the parental pin for now but this is not really a solution.

Hi @Anonymous User,
Sorry for the very delayed response here.
With this issue we were informed that it should be resolved but if you are still seeing it do let us know as it might be an individual issue we need to look into for you.
Thanks

I have issues. I have the newer Now TV box (With Freeview)
I have parental controls set. I have tried 12, 12a, 15 however watching some programs, i.e Gruffalo I'm prompted for the parental pin. If I turn off the parental control then I do not need to enter a pint to watch. I would expect that all programs listed within the KIDS nowTV section should be watch if parental control is set i.e 12 rating is what I need to have set.

@Anonymous User all programs in the kids section should be suitable for kids. There for a 12 pin should be adequate and all programs work. @Simon-J can you flag up the issue with the Gruffalo? @Anonymous User if there are any others please post back so they can also be flagged.

I still have this issue.

This still appears to be an issue. I just had to enter a pin for Stickman!

I know this is an old thread, but I’ve just started to experience this problem. Any idea why this would suddenly have happened, and what I can do to fix please? Thanks

Hi I've just started experiencing the same issue, my 6 y/o now requires the pin to watch most of the kids section even stuff usually suitable for my 1 y/o is now coming up with it. Any updates or fixes will be appreciated.
Thanks
