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.

Thanks, but I already knew this workaround, but it's still annoying having to do this in the first place.
