Sky +.... Pin required!

Hi
I have 'Gremlins' recorded on my Sky+ - but I can't watch it as I'm required to enter a pin no - I haven't set a pin up and its only a '15' certificate. Can anyone advise?

Cheers Cres

    It's either usually 0000 or the last 4 digits of your viewing card number.

  • I've got the number, thank you both. Would you believe it?! - Inserted the card in the player and it has let me watch it without entering the number!!! Could it be that it is on a time thing for 15 certificates?
    Anyway I'm very much obliged.

    I ran into this recently, there is a default setting that it'll ask for the PIN if you try to watch a post 'watershead' recording before 9pm (look at the timing of your post, looks like you just hit it).

    If you go into the settings menu you can set it to not ask under those circumstances
