or 2. allow a 1/2 way house whereby I can turn OFF the PIN requirment for say 24 hours - it then kicks back in - and I could turn it off again

the real problem is that every time you try to change film channels - you have to put that ****ed PIN number in again and again and again

I like 'surfing' the channels up-and-down - cant do this with Movie Channels in day or early evening

and er er let me get this right - I am the one who is paying the bills for a service which is less that satisfactory ! ! !

time for the new govt to reform this old fashioned-nanny-state-way-of-treating-the-british-people ? ?
Because yo might let underaged persons what stuff they shouldn't, I'm in the same boat, it sucks, plus there is no way I would let my sisters kids watch unsuitable programmes.

It basically boils down to 2 words "NANNY STATE"

The pin is also on any programme that is recorded after the watershed, It winds me up, even on terrestial TV.

OFCOM suck..
