Something I stumbled upon last year. I discovered a loophole in the PIN system. I can switch between the movie channels without having to press the red button or even enter the PIN.
1) Go into the 'Locked Channels' section of the 'Settings' Menu. You will need the PIN for this bit so the kiddies shouldn't be able to do it.
2) Move down to the movie channels and lock the channel and then unlock it again.
3) Do this for each of the required channels.
You should now be able to switch between the movie channels without a PIN or red button as if they were any other channel. This is how the system should work for us adults that dont have kiddies around.
The PIN protection system seems to work by having a hidden channel lock.
These hidden locks are cleared after the watershed and set again in the early morning reset(6-7am?).This trick will work until then or a STB reset of any sort.
You can 'unprotect' the channels after 7am and unless a manual STB reset/reboot or a VM generated reset occurs there should be no problems for the rest of the day.
