Identifying pay per view programs
There are several ways to identify pay per view programs.
Ordering pay per view programs
To order a pay per view program:
1Locate and highlight the program you wish to purchase in the Guide.
You can purchase current programs (as long as the program is less than half over)
or future programs.
2Press the INFO button on your remote control.
The Program Details screen appears, with the list of available actions for that
program.
Note: You can set spending limits for pay per view purchases using your DIRECTV®High-
Definition Receiver’s Menu system. See Chapter 6 for details.
1If you tune to a channel currently
showing a pay per view program which
you have not yet purchased, a message
appears telling you how to order the
program.
2If you press the INFO button on your
remote control to view information
about a program in the Guide or about
a program you are currently tuned to,
you will see the pay per view icon in the
Channel Banner for that program.
3Use the arrow keys on your remote
control to highlight the Buy item
from the list, then press the OK
button.
A confirmation screen appears in
which you can confirm or cancel
your purchase.
Pay per view purchases are billed
with your regular monthly statement
for DIRECTV®programming.
