Reading that, I'm glad my system hasn't had this 'upgrade' yet. Surely this
totally defeats the purpose of using the COPY function to perform unattended
archiving. Quite often I leave Sky+ copying a list of programmes when I go
to bed - obviously this will be totally screwed if the box suddenly decides
that it needs a PIN for a programme in the middle of the list.
