As posted elsewhere by me just now, "Twilight zone time" Or you're the same person, lol.

Quote:
Settings, select locked channels, enter PIN.
Press 401 then press Select twice, 1st time locks channel, 2nd unlocks channel.
Repeat for each movie channel that requests PIN.

This will have to be done daily or when box is switched off. It forgets when PIN prompt facility switched off after watershed or thereabouts.

yep if you go onto the lock channels bit on settings lock them and then go back and unlock them it should turn it off. it does tend to turn back to popping up the pin sometimes tho.

Tried the above but, not unlocking the sky channels.

Tried this; but the pop up asks for a PIN to access. I typed any four digit number, but no luck.

I now have only two attempts left to type the PIN.

Where and how do I find my pin number. I've tried the engineers menu but the pin is masked with ****.

easyiest way would be too short the battery and then you can set it again but it will erase net id and frequency so if you have a box that doesnt auto set this then you will need to reset those as well

@ luke_parky press guide on remote - press settings - press set your favourites - once u tick all the movies press yellow button to clear them, exit and all will be viewable, untill 12.10 next morning, then u have to redo it all again.

What box do you have? if it's a pace just pull the red jumper for 30 secs then set the pin to what you want in the engineers menu.
