This both locks the channels AND hides them
they are still there but only locked
When you say from the listings, do you mean if you type the number, or the miniguide/EPG?
when im going up and down the channels its there,
gets embarrassing when the kdis start going up and down the channels and then they are asked for the pin number
The official instructions from www.virginmedia.com/pin
Hiding Adult channels from the TV guide
You can do this the same way as locking channels. If you’d rather Adult channels weren’t listed on the TV Guide, you can hide them by pressing the yellow button on your remote control when in the 'Set Locked Channels' section of the 'Settings' menu.
Only thing I can suggest is unhide them, reboot the box and try again
It is only the yellow button option that hides them. If you have locked the channels manually, they still show up
I routinely find that the hidden channels appear on the mini epg,despite being hidden via the yellow button.
After numerous reboots,and re-hiding,they are hidden.
However after a period,they appear again on the mini-epg,despite the settings showing that they are hidden.
Any reason,why this is happeningand how to cure it permanently.
I've just tried 3 reboots/hiding,yet they are still appearing on the mini-epg.
Thanks.

Send the kids to bed early.....;)
The Adult channels(when not locked or hidden),show "inappropriate"stills,regardless of the time of day. e.g 8AM
Furthermore,its not always about protecting children.
Many adults find the content undesirable,believe it or not.
