My fault, what I meant was that I wondered if the pin requirement got set by the time that the program is first broadcast and it then stays with it at whatever time it is subequently repeated.

According to the OFCOM document, the information is contained in the program metadata provided by the broadcasters, which is then acted upon by the set top box.

The BBC still do it on some events like Trooping the Colour. But you need to go to the BBC iPlayer to get it. It used to be you could also get it on Red Button via 991. But the BBC have to justify the expense of broadcasting it now, hence catering for disabled people by providing AD gets priority.

The “nanny state” is never going to allow that. God forbid that parents will ever be trusted to control what their kids see:Yikes:

TV must be locked down by the broadcasters, & soon we will have the “internet police” closing down anything that is even slightly “iffy”.
