My HD Media Center: Sky Movie Channel PIN entry

At last, finally got around to getting this sorted with plenty help from the DVBlink forum.

So as you know, sky has PIN protection on movie channels pre-water shed,

which is a pain and will limit your movie recording via media center to after that time only.

No any longer ;-)

First, go thru the epg menus and ENABLE pin protection on all move channels,

there is a setting to do this, so anytime for all movie channels you will require PIN.

This makes it easier then to automate the PIN entry script.

I added this to my channel-change.cmd hook for use with DVBlink

here it is:

:: Change directory to the location of this CMD file.

pushd %~dp0

:: Print some debugging info in a log file named after this CMD file

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%G IN ('date /t') DO set CURDATE=%%G

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%G IN ('time /t') DO set CURTIME=%%G

echo [%CURDATE% %CURTIME%] %~n0 %* >> %~n0.log

"sky-control.exe" --sky+ --channel %1

for %%i in (301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 339) do (

if "%%i" == "%1" (

C:\"Program Files (x86)"\DVBLogic\DVBLink\Data\HDPVR\hooks\sky-control.exe --sky+hd 5CCB 5CCB 5CCB 5CCB 5CCB 5C09 5C01 5C09 5C04

echo Movie channel FINISHED! sending PIN >> %~n0.log

)

:: TODO Check ERRORLEVEL returned by the tuning software

if '%ERRORLEVEL%'=='0' goto :END

goto :ERROR

:: Jump here with a GOTO to report an error

:ERROR

echo Error changing channel, ERRORLEVEL=%ERRORLEVEL% >> %~n0.log

exit 1

:: Jump here with a GOTO for a success

:END

echo Channel changed successfully >> %~n0.log

exit 0

5C09 5C01 5C09 5C04 is my pin, see here to get urs:
