and later on;
◆
see on-screen TV programme listings seven days ahead via the EPG;
◆
order movies, sports and events using Ticket;
◆
set reminders for programmes you want to watch using the Planner;
◆
set your box to record programmes on now or showing in the future;
◆
watch programmes you have recorded;
◆
access a range of interactive services, such as games you can play using your remote control;
◆
change settings on your box, including the Parental Control settings, to make sure your box
works how you want it to.

one of the on-screen methods described in the following sections.

Unlocking a locked channel
If you have used Parental Control to lock any channels (see page 42), these channels will not be
available to view without being unlocked first. In addition, if you have used Parental Control to set
viewing restrictions based on age category ratings (see page 43), then programmes broadcast with
an age rating at the same level or above will be locked. If you have used Parental Control to lock any
channels (see page 42), these channels will not be available to view without at first unlocking them.
If you want to watch a locked channel or programme, you will need to enter your PIN code (see
page 41).
If the message ‘
Please enter PIN code to unlock channel’
appears when you change channel:
1.
Use the
number
buttons to enter the correct PIN code.
2.
If you make a mistake, press
BACK
to delete the numbers you have entered.
If the PIN code is correct, the programme you want to watch displays.
◆
If the PIN code is not correct, you will see a message to tell you. You can either try again, or
change channel to a channel that is not locked.
Note
When you unlock a channel using this method, the channel remains unlocked for as long as you are
viewing it. The channel is relocked when you change to a different channel, put your box into
standby, or turn off your box.
