see the Program Information screen for pay per view. Options on the Program Information screen vary, depending on whether the event selected is currently showing, is already scheduled to record, or is currently available to be purchased through the recorder. Though some events have dedicated channels that allow ordering more than 24 hours in advance, you usually cannot use the recorder to purchase a pay per view event more than 24 hours before the event airs. Recorded pay per view programs are marked "Save Until I Delete" (the green icon) by default. That way your recorded movies are saved until you manually delete them from the Now Playing screen.

•Purchase & record info. If the recorder does not have purchase information (such as the price of the pay per view event) immediately available, it can do a short check for it. If the recorder gets purchase information, the event will become available to purchase and record. To check for purchase information the recorder must briefly tune to a special channel. If you are recording a program, checking for pricing information this way may create a short skip in the recording. The skip is usually less than two seconds but may be up to ten seconds long. The recorder provides a confirmation screen so you can avoid such a skip by choosing not to check for purchase information.

If the recorder finds purchase information by tuning away, the pay per view screen will be refreshed with the new information and you will have the option to purchase the program. If the recorder cannot find purchase information, you will be informed that purchase information is not available.

•Buy and record. When you select this option, the pay per view event is purchased and a recording of it is scheduled on the To Do List. A verification screen appears describing any scheduling conflicts. If you verify that you want to buy and record the event, a second screen confirms the purchase. You can select “Options,” to the right of “Buy and record,” to change Recording Options for the pay per view event.
