No, you can't turn off the pin requirement for pre-watershed content as it is required by Ofcom.

If you've read the thread you'll see it's an ofcom directive so there's no way it can be turned off

This is crazy - I have to enter a parental control to watch the News?  Really?  Madness.  Box is going back and I'll go back to Sky!

Hi @grajay ,

which news broadcast  (time and channel)  was requiring you to enter a PIN .

It would be unusual that a  news broadcast would demand one unless the channel was broadcasting a recorded program eg a documentary  that was rated. Eg I think  Now Sky News sometimes  does programming with rating settings eg Chaos in Kabul: Escaping the Taliban  which they rate as 15.

I believe  that if you were watching the same programme on the free to air  Sky News channel you would not be required to enter a PIN.
