Pay Per View
You don’t have to go out for the best and biggest movies and special events! Recent hits
and events like sports, comedy and more are available 24 hours a day for a one-time purchase
price on DIRECTV Pay Per View. You’ll find them listed in the Guide just like other
showings, starting at channel 100.
Scroll through your choices, and press SELECT or INFO to view the options. As long as
your receiver has been connected to a land-based phone line, you can place your order
though your remote (purchase charges will appear on your next bill). You’ll get a reminder
on-screen that your pay per view purchase is about to air shortly before air time. But, just to
make sure you don’t miss it, why not set up an autotune? Choose the Autotune option and
follow the prompts.
If you need to cancel your pay per view order for any reason, you may, as long as you haven’t
yet viewed any of the program. Highlight the show again and press INFO and you’ll be given
the opportunity to cancel. You can also cancel, as well as see an overview of your pay per
view purchases, through the Scheduler, part of the Quick
Menu (see page 50) you can access
by pressing the MENU
key on your remote, then select Settings.
Keep in mind, too, if ever a pay per view program exceeds spending or rating limits you’ve set
with Parental Controls, your password will be required to purchase it.
You can also order DIRECTV Pay Per
View movies or events over the phone
or at DIRECTV.com. Keep in mind,
though, there is an ordering fee for
those purchases placed over the phone.
Also, you will be charged for the
program even if you don’t watch it.
