It is stupid that it can't be disabled though, my wife and I don't have kids and so have no need to use a PIN, but we're forced to because of the society we live in. PIN doesn't stop kids that much, when I was a kid and my dad first got Sky, I cracked his PIN in about 1 hour, it's not that hard to crack a 4 digit PIN. This makes it a rather flimsy security measure anyway.
