PURCHASES: PAY PER VIEW PROGRAMS

Pay Per View (PPV) programs are DIRECTV programs that you purchase—like a movie ticket—on an event-by-event basis if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming. Pay Per View programs are labelled “PPV” in the DIRECTV program guide. A channel labeled PPV could run nothing but previews for movies. After previewing the movie, you can purchase it or find out more details about it.

PURCHASING AND PREVIEWING

There are several ways to purchase and preview DIRECTV Pay Per View movies and events if you subscribe to DIRECTV programming:

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

•Highlight a Pay Per View program from the program guide and press INFO.

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

TUNING TO A PAY PER VIEW PROGRAM

When you use the channel up and down buttons or digits on the remote control 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.

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