Re: Pin Error E006 Please Help
your attitude and suspicious behaviour are the reason you were nt told how to do it sooner.

it took a while because the poeple who know how to do it, probably were not on this forum for a while!!!!
and the people who did know and didn't help, will probably feel they done the right thing, they will applaud themselves.
I just find this post unbelievable, cheeky in fact.
I take it you PM'd everyone on this thread, like you did me?

A quick word of advice. If you are sarcastic or show attitude to people, they will be less likely to help.

there was nothing wrong with my attitude in the first place, i asked politely and wasnt given a simple straight answer.

i am aware of that, i did not show any sort of attitude to anyone before i was helped. I jus posted that message to show my frustration on how long it took me to actually find an answer that could have been given by most of the people here.

Hu5sain, I think you seemed to have missed the point of these forums (imho). These are a bunch of like(and not so like-)minded individuals who enjoy discussing things of mutual interest, based around a common link (subscription to NTL).
They are not a bunch of free tech-support, who should be excorciated for slow responses to your (dubious) query. You should be grateful that people gave up their free time and skills to help you, not be annoyed they didn't do it quickly enough. btw, it wasn't 24 hours, it was less than 8 hours.
A handy hint - if someone trying to help you asks a question (as they may be trying to clarify if the action is legal/illegal), it is impolite to reply "never you mind. Besides i dont think the channels matter here, there wont be a different procedure for different channels." Some of the guys who contribute to this forum work for NTL, and they should know better than you what the procedures are.
You are the sort of person who would p!ss in a well, just because you couldn't get the water out fast enough.
If you don't like the (free) service, feel free to go elsewhere, you ingrate.

Re: Pin Error E006 Please Help
I have 
I get this error when trying to watch the "Catch up TV" (free)
The weird thing is, if I change the channel (from say bbc1 to bbc2) sometimes it works.
I dont want to setup a PIN as I dont want to watch the PPV stuff
But would it resolve this issue for good if i got one?
It probably occurs 75% of the time

Certainly up to some sort of no good.
To whoever helped him: please don't do it again. PIN protection is there for a very good reason.
bongman: set up a PIN. What have you got to lose? No-one's making you watch PPV.

30 mins or more talking to someone in India!
Not to mention the cost of the call.
