Pay Per View and DIRECTV
DIRECTV offers up to 55 different pay per view choices each day, plus unique recording
opportunities through DIRECTV
Pay Per View
Your DIRECTV ® DVR makes buying and recording pay per view events a snap. You can
order them when they are promoted on live TV, or during a search for programs, to watch
or to be recorded to watch later. And the whole transaction can be handled using your
remote control. (A connection to a standard phone line is required for pay per view
functionality.)
Ordering from live TV. While watching live TV, you may see a promotion for a pay per
view event with an Ipreview ® icon like this one:
SELECT while you see the icon to view the Program Information screen for pay per view.
From here, you can purchase the event and schedule a recording.
You may see similar messages reading "Press Select" and "Next Showing" while
watching previews on pay per view channels. Press SELECT to see the Program
Information screen for pay per view, which includes purchase and recording options.
Pay Per View Program Information. When you order a pay per view event from live TV,
or select a pay per view event in Pick Programs to Record or the Program Guide, you see
the pay per view Program Information screen. Options on this screen vary, depending on
whether the selected event is currently showing, is already scheduled to record, or is
currently available for purchase. Though some events have dedicated channels that allow
ordering more than 24 hours in advance, you usually cannot use the DVR to purchase a
pay per view event more than 24 hours before the event airs.
