Hello,
Is it possible to remove the pin for watching recordings or for shows that are showing b4 2100.
I'm 53 years old and I'm the only one who has access to my 360 boxes.
This annoys me so much.
Thanks Glenn
As far as I know you cannot remove it. There due to government legislation.

It is due to an OFCOM ruling (Mandatory Daytime Protection) that allows broadcasters to transmit adult content outside of the "Watershed" hours providing that PIN protection cannot be removed.
I campletely agree and so frustrated that you constantly have to enter a PIN. I’m 55 and when I stop a tv program to leave the room. I have to enter a pin again. SKY doesn’t have this silly rigmarole. I’m thinking of going back to them because of this
Sky does have the same rules.
I'm a Sky TV customer and they have the same Ofcom mandated PIN requirement before 9pm. The issue comes up a lot on their forum, for example https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/It-keeps-asking-for-my-pin-on-a-lot-of-programmes-but-i-switched-off-the-pin-on-settings/m-p/4584620

This rule applies to the broadcaster themselves & any third party carrier like VM. Thanks to the Online Safety Act rules like this are also spreading to internet provided content now, so don't think you can go avoiding the "Nanny State" just by changing provider.
