Using On-Screen Menus

Using the Purchases Menu

The Purchases menu allows you to review upcoming and past purchases and set spending limits.

The list of purchases may be longer than one screen; use the up and down arrow buttons to see more items. The display also shows the title, channel, date, time, and cost of each program.

Note: The Past Purchases list is updated as soon as a purchased program is viewed.

Reviewing and Canceling Upcoming Purchases

Highlight and select an upcoming purchase from the Future Purchases screen. You can review the program description, as well as cancel an upcoming purchase.

Note: Only pay per view programs that were ordered from the satellite receiver and have not yet aired may be cancelled.

Spending Limits

Use the Spending Limit option to indicate a per-event, and/or a monthly spending limit for pay per view programs.

1.Select Spending Limit.

2.Select the user profile you’d like to set a spending limit for, then use the digits or the arrow buttons on the remote control to enter program spending-limit information.

After a spending limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter a password to purchase a pay per view program that costs more than your spending limit allows.

Note: Spending limits are in effect only when the system is locked. See “Locking the System” on page 31 for details.

Tip: PPV Passwords

You may need to enter your four-digit password to order a PPV program if it costs more than the spending limit you set up in the Profiles or Purchases menu.
