Pay Per View
Your DIRECTV ® Digital Satellite Recorder makes buying and recording pay per view
events a snap. You can order them when they are promoted on live TV, or during a search
for programs. You can order them to watch, or to be recorded. And the whole transaction
can be handled using your remote control.
If you purchase a pay per view event but do not request a recording of it, you are not
charged for it unless you tune your recorder to the event’s channel during the event. This
means that if you buy an event but are not home while it is on—and your recorder is not
tuned to the channel carrying the event—you will not be charged for the purchase. You are
always charged for a purchase that is recorded.
The Purchases screen keeps a record of all your pay per view purchases. You can also go
to the Purchases screen to cancel purchases of pay per view events that have not yet aired.
Ordering from live TV. While watching live TV, you may see a promotion for a pay per

SELECT, you will see the Program Information screen for pay per view.
If the promotion happens when you are not caught up to live TV, a small message that
says “Press Select” and “Next Showing” will appear. If you press SELECT, you will see
the Program Information screen for pay per view. If you don’t want the program, you can
press EXIT to remove the message.
