So, I guess that's what was causing my 2 reboots (sometimes many more) per day. How come the support desk and VM engineers did not know about this? Would have saved me many engineer visits if they'd said "known problem, will be fixed next week." Though, in their favour, their chief engineer did find and fix problems on the line during his last visit.

Don't understand this one. Aren't all channels "watershed compliant"?

I was asked for my PIN when I watched The Tudors earlier today.

i'm guessing that this means that if you watch it earlier than the post watershed time it was recorded you'll be PIN'd

still annoying in a kid free house
I haven't noticed any improvement in the PIN situation.
I've just been asked for my PIN for last weekend's rugby. It's saying the programme was on after 10 P.M.

:confused: :rolleyes:
Yep, same here. More annoying now since VM think it fixed!
I don't think it means what we think it means. I think it refers to another problem; though I don't know which one :confused:
still get the odd pin request for recordings.
and tivo likes to ask for a pin just to keep you on your toe's :D
I'm still getting them just as before. :(
I even had a PIN request after 10pm for a programme that was broadcast at 9pm!
