PURCHASES: PAY PER VIEW PROGRAMS
Pay Per View (PPV) programs are DIRECTV programs that you
purchase—like a movie ticket—on an event-by-event basis if you
subscribe to DIRECTV
® programming. Pay Per View programs are
labelled “PPV” in the DIRECTV program guide. A channel labeled PPV
could run nothing but previews for movies. After previewing the
movie, you can purchase it or find out more details about it.
PURCHASING AND PREVIEWING
There are several ways to purchase and preview DIRECTV Pay Per View
movies and events if you subscribe to DIRECTV programming:
• Tune to a Pay Per View program’s channel. Program providers may
offer on-screen purchase instructions, usually as the Pay Per View
program begins.
• Highlight a Pay Per View program from the program guide and
press INFO.
• Preview a coming attraction by selecting a channel from the
Attractions Guide.
TUNING TO A PAY PER VIEW PROGRAM
When you use the channel up and down buttons or digits on the
remote control to tune to a Pay Per View channel, you need to press
the INFO button to bring up the Program Details screen in order to
purchase a program.
Use the program guide to get to the Program Details screen.
You may need to enter
your four-digit system
password to order a PPV
program if it costs more
than the spending limit
you set up in the Profiles
menu.
