Remove 5 Sec Wait To Enter Parental Control Pin

bazman1uk — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 12:20:27 GMT

Since the recent update to the BT TV box, which now uses the EE colours, whenever you go to a channel that requires the parental control pin entered, there's now a 5 sec wait before you can press OK and enter the pin.

This might be a small thing but I'm finding it really frustrating having to wait.

I cannot understand why this wait was put in?? It doesn't achieve anything

Does anyone know how we remove this wait?

Cheers

I can see the reasoning for having a five second wait after entering a wrong PIN. Perhaps that was the intention but implemented badly?

I think the issue is the "overlay" coming up on the PIN protected channels when before it didn't.

If you press "back", the overlay will disappear and you'll be able to enter the PIN quicker.

Not ideal, and still an extra keypress when before there was none.
