It can be really annoying when you're trying to watch a movie or show on DStv and you get hit with a "PG Blocked" message. This usually happens when parental controls are turned on, which is great for keeping kids safe, but not so great when you're the adult who wants to watch something. The good news is that it's actually pretty easy to remove the PG block on your DStv decoder.

To remove the PG block on DStv, you need to go into the Parental Control settings and change the age restriction settings. You will need your PIN to do this, which is usually 0000 or 1234 if you've never changed it.

How to Remove PG Blocked on DStv

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to remove the PG block on your DStv:

1. Press the “DStv” button on your remote.

2. Go to “Settings”.

3. Select “Parental Control”.

4. Enter your PIN. The default PIN is usually 1234.

5. Select “PG Settings”.

6. You can then choose to either disable the PG block completely or set it to a higher age rating.

I remember one time I was trying to watch a movie with a friend, and we kept getting the PG block. It turned out my younger sister had been playing with the remote and somehow managed to turn on the parental controls. It was a bit of a pain to figure out at first, but once I found the settings, it was a quick fix.

What if you forgot your PIN?

If you have forgotten your PIN, you can easily reset it on the DStv website. You will need your smartcard number to do this. Once you have reset your PIN, you can then follow the steps above to remove the PG block. I had to do this once when I completely forgot the PIN I had set. It was a simple process and I was back to watching my shows in no time.

And that's it! You should now be able to watch whatever you want on DStv without any annoying PG blocks. If you're looking for other DStv tips, you might be interested in our post on how to add channels on DStv.
