The Purchases menu allows you to review upcoming and past DIRECTV Pay Per View purchases and edit spending limits.

The Purchases menu shows you upcoming or past DIRECTV purchases and spending limits.

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

Note that the past purchases list might not be updated until the end of the billing cycle, and therefore may show purchases for which you have already paid.
