THE ON-SCREEN GUIDES

Buy Options

The Buy Options button is similar to the Buy $ button. This button will initiate a drop-down menu with three purchase options: View, Tape, and Don’t Purchase.

The View Only price indicates the cost to view the program only. A purchase of this type excludes the possibility of taping the event for later viewing.

The Tape/View price indicates the cost to record the event for later viewing. Of course, you can also view the event when it airs if you select this option.

After choosing either View or Tape, you may either confirm or cancel the purchase.

If neither purchase option is of interest to you, highlight Don’t Purchase and press .

Cancel Purchase

Some events may allow cancellation after they have been purchased, depending on the event type, and whether the event has been viewed. Unviewed purchases can usually be canceled. If the Cancel Purchase button is displayed, you are allowed to cancel the previous purchase. If this button is not offered, then most likely a portion of the event has already been viewed, committing you to the purchase.

Show Times

The Show Times button provides a simple way to display a concise list of other presentation times for a certain program. Use this button to find a more convenient viewing time.

After selecting an alternate viewing time, you will be returned to an updated INFORMATION screen.
