Pay per view programs

Your DIRECTV® HD Receiver gives you access to many pay per view movies, sporting events, concerts, etc. All you need to order these events is a DIRECTV account, a land-based telephone line connected to your HD Receiver, and your remote control.

Identifying and ordering pay per view programs

Pay per view icon

There are several ways to identify pay per view programs.

•If you tune to a channel currently showing a pay per view program which you have not yet purchased, a message appears telling you how to order the program.

•If you press the INFO button on your remote control to view information about a program in the guide or about a program you are currently tuned to, you will see the pay per view icon in the Channel Banner for that program.

To order a pay per view program:

1.Locate and highlight the program you want to purchase in the guide. You can purchase current programs (as long as the program is less than half over) or future programs.

2.Press the INFO button on your remote control. The Program Details screen appears, with the list of available actions for that program.

3.Use the arrow keys on your remote control to highlight Buy, then press SELECT (a confirmation screen appears in which you can confirm or cancel your purchase).

Pay per view purchases are billed with your regular monthly statement for DIRECTV® programming.

Note: You can set spending limits for pay per view purchases using your HD Receiver’s menu system. See Chapter 5 for details.

Reviewing your pay per view purchases

Your HD Receiver allows you to review your past pay per view purchases, to view a list of upcoming pay per view purchases, and to cancel upcoming pay per view purchases.

To see a list of pay per view programs that you purchased and watched:

1.Press the MENU button on your remote control.

2.Highlight the PURCHASES menu item, then press SELECT (the Purchases menu appears with Past Purchases menu item highlighted).
