Does Sky only have one PIN? I ask this because I want to protect my account from anyone other than me accessing pay services, but allow knowledge of the PIN to allow pre-watershed viewing. IS there any way I can achieve this?

Ive only ever known the Sky system to have one pin which controls everything.

And still no way to stop it demanding the pre-watershed PIN?

Only by using the card in a none Sky box.

hello, there is no way to defeet the pin request.
if you get a dream box and set up with the same box key it will be mated up with the card and never ask for a pin at any time.

Will it still get the "keep alive" or will I have to keep putting the card back into the original Sky receiver?

I presume with a Dreambox it is necessary to scan for channels - it is not EPG driven like a native Sky box.

Pick the right cam and it should update automatically, but do some research as Im not quite sure what the current situation is.

DB are just like any other none Sky rx so its menu driven not epg driven - and you only get now & next on the epg unless you sort the right plug-in.
