PAY-PER-VIEW AND PIN
I ordered an Indigo movie and the terminal asked me to enter a 4-digit PIN. What is it for?
This PIN is a security feature. Only individuals who know the PIN can order a movie or an event. All subscribers
have the default PIN 0000; it is a good idea to change the PIN regularly.
Ordering a movie with Viewer’s Choice
1. Tune in to Channel 350 (VCC trailers) and press Guide on the keyboard or remote control.
2. Select a time slot and scroll the movies broadcast during this period.
3. Select a title and press SELECT twice.
4. Press B and enter your PIN. The default PIN is 0000.
Note: You can order movies up to 4 hours in advance and events up to 7 days in advance.
Forgot your PIN?
If you have never changed your PIN, enter 0000, which is the default PIN. If you have already changed it, you will
have to contact Customer Service.
The telephone numbers for Customer Service and Customer Technical Support are listed on page 34.
