Sky Movies PIN number annoying

"The pin number is a legal requirment...."
Ok, that is fair enough, but why the hell do you have to re-enter your pin number each time you browse to a different channel when you have only just entered in your pin a few seconds ago?
There is no excuse, the software is just annoying. I cancelled my subscription for this and a few other gripes which were because of the poor user experiance with the software. Another annoying feature is the inability to simply remove channels from the listings so that you do not get a blue screen telling you that you have to pay to watch the channel when all you want to do is skip it! (more annoying when you cancel and drop-down to their free-to-view subscription).

I'm happy now with FreeSat, I can choose what channels are available, first thing I removed was all those annoying Jewelry channels!

I think its stupid that sky movies have put a pin protection number on when everybody downloads movies anyway

You can change the pin to whatever you like and easily through your sky account online!

THANK YOU blahhhhhhhh I for got me pin have done for months and months you shold of herd me reack when it worked !! :D:D

The pin number is a legal requirment if sky did not put pins on age rated movies we would have to watch films which are rated as pg all day you can still record a film even if it asks you for a pin..the pin number automatically be's removes at eight o clock..the pin number is the last four digits of you card by default however all the cards have recently been changed therefore its the last four digits of your old card if this does not work its simply because your not puting it in correctly or you have changed your pin and have forgotten its, its not sky's fault so stop crying about it, deal with it and move on..if u want to cancel go ahead sky have millions of customers losing you isnt goin to make much of of difference...i have sky movies as use all know nearly every film on sky is repeated time and time again so even if you didnt record it or have no idea wat you pin is watch a repeat or call in an get you pin simple

We perfectly agree with you. We were not aware of their poor service before subscribing. Now waiting for the contract to be finished to disconnect

What time does sky let you watch 12 without pin?
Me and my son wanted to watch a movie but could not remember the pin so we had to record it and wait till the time was right!!!

I had the same problem today, last 4 digits of viewing card was not working this time. Then I remembered they'd sent out a new viewing card recently, so I tried last 4 digits of the old card number & that worked!!

how do I find my pin number and it aint the last 4 digits on the card

Having added ESPN and paying for it My screen tells me I have to subscribe!!!

Having added a Sky + box in my bedrom I am unable to use my pin

Rang thr appropriate numbers on land line and mobile - Technical help press 1- Did so (several separate times) - dis-embodied voice- not recognised

At this rate Inclined to cancel the whole thing! Incompetence would appear to prevail

You can record just fine when not there even with a pin, you are making out that there is a problem when there isn't. open tv guide punch in the channel number of the film you wish to record, use the right arrow to get to it, then press record, it adds it to the planner, it will record it regardless of pin. I have done it this way for years never had any problem, you don't seem to understand how it works, if you wish to record a programme that is on a different day, its -tv guide-punch in channel number, use the yellow button to advance the listings by 24 hrs and the blue to decrease it by 24 hours, use the right and left arrows till you get over the programme then hit record button, it adds it to planner simple.

I have tried the last 4 digits on my card but nothing.. really dont know what to do!! anyone out there have any ideas!! please help
