Virginia tivo

Does anyone know if there is a hack to remove the pin code on a Virgin tivo box.

You can't turn it off at all. I have to put it in for every show I've recorded after 9 if it's even remotely different. Always for Netflix. Loads of stuff

Virgin hide behind its ofcom forcing then to do this but frankly I should have the choice to turn if off.

PIN for Recorded Programmes

When you first have your TiVo installed it’s set to prompt for the PIN when watching recorded programmes that have been recorded after 9pm.

To turn this off for most recordings

  1. Press Home on your TiVo remote
  2. Select Help & Settings
  3. Choose Parental Controls
  4. Enter your PIN
  5. Choose Request a PIN to Watch Recordings
  6. Choose Do not request a PIN

Thanks.

I asked virgin and they said it couldn't be turned off at all. I did see that but didn't go past the request pin point as it already has one.

This is a great example of legislation implemented badly
