Annoying age restriction PIN on Sky Movies - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi all I have just upgraded my package with Virgin to include Sky Movies etc. Unfortunately I now have to enter my PIN when I switch to certain channels dependant on what classification of film is being shown.
I am aware that by going into the settings menu I can vary which classification requires a PIN.
However CAN I TURN THE BLOODY THING OFF PERMANENTLY? I only had the movie package added this afternoon but it is a right royal pain in the a$s* already!
Any help with this would be appreciated.
I have at the moment the standard PACE box, however on the 3rd of December a V+HD box should arrive. Whilst on the subject is it true that the Virgin HDMI leads are rubbish?
