Selecting a Program from the Guide
Ordering Pay-Per-View
Programs
Selecting RETURN returns you to the
previous screen, without purchasing the
program.
Selecting TIMES brings up a list of
additional show times that you can
choose from for the program you selected.
A PREVIEW button, which gives you a
free preview of the program, appears only
when the preview is available.
Selecting NO returns you to the
previous screen, without purchasing
the program.
For all programs except pay-per-view (PPV), you can select a program
from the guide just by pressing the button. If the program is
currently showing, the guide disappears and the program you selected
appears. If the program hasn't started yet, the guide remains on screen,
and displays information about that program.
Watching a PPV program is similar, except it requires you to order the
program before you can watch it beyond the free preview period
(usually about five minutes after the program starts).
Note
Your phone line must be connected to the DSS receiver in order for you to
purchase a pay-per-view program with the DSS remote control.
