Tips
TIPS
• You can set up the receiver to record Pay-Per-View programs. See page 65 for more
details. You cannot record DISH On Demand programs.
• You can prevent others from purchasing Pay-Per-View programs by using locks (see
page 48).
• Keep an active phone line connected to your receiver so you can order Pay-Per-View
programs with your remote control.
QUESTIONS
• How can I order an event for all my receivers?
– Order on each receiver, one at a time with the remote control. For each receiver,
make sure that it is connected to an active phone line or via a broadband Internet
connection.
– Order the event over the phone at 1-877-DISH-PPV (347-4778). Charges may
apply.
– Order the event online at www.dishnetwork.com/ppv
.
– Order the event over the phone at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). Charges may apply.
• I ordered a Pay-Per-View program but can only see it on one receiver. Some Pay-
Per-View programs are restricted to one receiver per account.
• Will I be charged more than once for ordering the same Pay-Per-View on two or
more receivers? If you’re using the remote control, you won’t be charged more than
once as long as it is the same exact event (for example, at the same time or All Day
events).
• Why doesn’t my Program Guide show any Pay-Per-View channels? You may be
using a Favorites List that doesn’t include Pay-Per-View channels. Press the GUIDE
button repeatedly to open the Program Guide and then cycle through your Favorites
List Options until you see All Chan highlighted in the pop-up window. Then press the
Select button. See Chapter 5: Favorites Lists on page 39 for more information on
using Favorites Lists. Also, you may have locked and hidden Pay-Per-View channels.
See Chapter 6: Locks on page 43.
• Why are some Pay-Per-View programs blacked out? Sporting events and other
programs are sometimes blacked out because of local restrictions.
• Why did my all-day Pay-Per-View program shut off while I was watching it? The
all-day events run from 3 AM to 3 AM (Mountain Time).
