Turn off this parental pin

[Anonymous User]

I agree. I live alone, no kids and I'm really fed-up with having to put in my pin every time I want to watch a Sky movie on Now TV. If there is someway of cancelling this, I wish Now TV would give clear instruction on how or as you say. if it is a bug, it needs to be addressed forthwith.

I totally agree with everyone who is fed up with the parental pin situation

Yes, you can turn it off there, but note what the message says about it still being needed under the circumstances described.

Ok so you can't turn off this parental pin, so why then can you watch the same program any time without a pin on the box sets etc ???

The parental pin is only required for certain Sky channels when you want to watch them live.

All catch up content doesn’t require the pin. 

Will put it this way, I don’t have a pin set up and have never had to use it when watching on demand or live sports.

My understanding is that it’s for Sky Atlantic live and and live cinema channels.

Sky (NowTV in my case), why are you so useless that you can’t do what other streaming services do?

Set up PROFILES, and profiles for kids only allows access to kids channels and programmes from them.

an adult profile allows access to all.

You use your pin ONCE to access the adult profile, that’s it.

entering the pin over and over again for every single programme means that the kids will see it.

Stop ticking boxes and try thinking outside of them.

Can’t edit my post, I was having to enter my pin to watch every show on the sky premium channels on nowTV, on demand.

I have disabled the PIN and now ONLY have to enter it if I want to watch live TV.

Sorry Sky, on this occasion, my bad.

Nothing to do with Sky introducing the PIN on certain Live channels. It was an OFCOM enforcement.
