We have sky year round but we only put movies on for two months around 1st dec--1st feb but it is pretty much a waste of time for me.

I turned off all restrictions because there's only my wife and self (kiRAB grown and flown) but you still have to be there to enter your pin number otherwise you cannot record the film.

What is the point of being able to turn off the restrictions if the bloody restrictions are still on?:mad:
 
If you're trying to watch a 15-certificate movie before 8pm, or an 18-certificate movie before 9pm, then it is an OFCOM requirement which Sky aren't allowed to circumvent. They can stop you having to enter PIN numbers to watch these certificate movies after the watershed has been passed (that's what you have done), but before the watershed kicks in your will still have to input them - there is no way round this.

Well, there is a way round it. If Sky were to stop showing 15-certificate movies before 8pm, and 18-certificate movies before 9pm then there would never be a need for the PIN request to kick in, but nobody wants that.
 
But if you have Sky+ you don't have to input the PIN until you come to watch the film. You can record it in the usual way by highlighting it in the EPG and then pressing the record button and it won't ask for a PIN. Then when you try to play it, it displays the "enter PIN" message.

I actually did this a couple of days ago recording a late-night film off Channel 4. I didn't even know what certificate the film was but when I tried to watch it the next day it prompted for my PIN.
 
At anytime if you record a 15/18 film and then watch it during the day time it will ask you to input your pin - once you do so by the magic of thor you shall see your film!
 
No it doesn't. If you've recorded it and you have all the restrictions turned off it doesn't require your pin, regardless of the time of day (I just tried it with a Sky Movies recording of The Terminator that i've got and it didn't require my pin). It's only on live TV and certain Sky Anytime programmes that it neeRAB the pin.
 
That's interesting. I just tried watching a 12-cert film I'd recorded and it prompted for my PIN even though I had all the parental controls turned off. What I hadn't turned off was the PIN for pre-watershed playback. So that has to be disabled as well to eliminate the PIN prompt.
