Chapter 5: User profiles
Setting a pay per view spending limit
To limit the dollar amount that can be spent for each pay per view program, use the Spending Limit option in the FAMILY profile menu. Spending limits set in the FAMILY profile apply any time the system is locked, regardless of which user profile is active. Here’s how to set a spending limit:
1Press the MENU button on your remote control. The Main menu appears.
2Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the PROFILES menu item, then press the 
button on your remote control.
The PROFILES menu appears. The FAMILY profile is highlighted.
3Press the 
button on your remote control to display the FAMILY profile menu.
The FAMILY profile menu appears.
4Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the Spending Limit menu item, then press the 
button on your remote control.
The Spending Limit screen appears.
5Use the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote control to enter the maximum price allowed for a pay per view program.
For example, to block the purchase of programs that cost more than twenty dollars each, you would press 0, 2, 0.
As you press the number buttons the highlight moves to the next digit.
6When you have entered the spending limit, use the arrow buttons on your
remote control to highlight the 
button on your remote control.
Your spending limit will now be in effect when the system is locked. (See Locking and unlocking your DIRECTV System later in this chapter.)
