PAY-PER-VIEW PROGRAMS

Pay-per-view programs (PPV) are programs that you purchase— like a movie ticket—on an event-by-event basis. For instance, there might be a specific channel that runs nothing but previews for movies. After previewing the movie, you can purchase it or find out more details about it. PPV programs can also be found in the program guide.

PURCHASING AND PREVIEWING

There are several ways to purchase and preview PPV movies and events:

•Tune to a PPV program’s channel. Program providers may offer on-screen purchase instructions, usually as the PPV program begins.

•Select a PPV program from the program guide.

•Preview a coming attraction by selecting a channel from the Attractions Guide.

TUNING TO A PPV PROGRAM

When you use the channel buttons or digits on the remote 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.

Follow the on-screen instructions to purchase the selected program.

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 menu.
