Why am I being asked for my pin number

[Loosecanons]

I've just upgraded to 360 but noticed some odd behaviours.

I have disabled the watershed pin requirement but I still get the occasional request for my pin number even when watching a daytime quiz on iPlayer.

Why would it do that?

When watching a recording it asks me if I want to keep it before it reaches the end.

Why does that happen?

On the old V6 if a programme was recording and I started watching it I could seamlessly scroll back without having to go into My Shows. Now I have to go into Recordings and then scroll along from the start.

Is that an improvement?

Thanks

Regarding the pin number it is an Ofsted requirement, this thread might help explain.

The "Ask to delete"  can be turned off if you go to your saved recordings and select manage storage, put your pin number in and it's the first option you get.

Have you tried going to the Home page and going to the the Continue watching, to carry on watching where you left off.

Thanks I'll give that a try.

As for watching a live program that is already recording it seems odd that it doesn't seamlessly let you rewind as the V6 always could when you switched to that channel.

TiVo firmware on the V6 kept all 6 recording tuners active and buffering continually.

Horizon firmware on TV360 only keeps active, the live channel and anything recording. Other tuners power-down until needed.
