Disable Parental Lock on EE TV

Hello,

I have been trying to disable the parental lock on EE TV without any success.

I have called several numbers and also looked at the tv settings.

I do not have any restricted channels listed however when I channel hop in Sky Cinema I am prompted to enter my parental pin every time which is very frustrating.

I have called 1818 and 150 without any help.

Thanks

Mike

There is an OFCOM requirement (mandatory daytime PIN) that movie channels must prompt for PIN if showing content rated 15 or 18 during the day - even if parental control is turned off.  Could this be what you're seeing?

Yes,I think that must be why I'm constantly being asked to enter a pin when I channel hop.

Many thanks for replying.

Regards

Mike

I want to disable broadband shield 

@Zezebangs4567 

I can’t find anything called that, but maybe it’s one of these? :-

What are you trying to achieve? Maybe there’s a way that doesn’t involve bypassing these protections?
