Selecting a Program from the Guide
Ordering Pay-Per-View
Programs
Selecting RETURN
returns you to the
previous screen, without purchasing the
program.
Selecting TIMES brings up a list of
additional show times that you can
choose from for the program you selected.
A PREVIEW
button, which gives you a
free preview of the program, appears only
when the preview is available.
If the BUY button does not appear (and
the message "Purchase information not
available" appears), you must call your
program provider to order the program.
Selecting NO returns you to the
previous screen, without purchasing
the program.
For all programs
except pay-per-view
(PPV), you can select a program
from the guide just by pressing
the joystick. If the program
is currently
showing,
the guide disappears
and the program
you selected appears.
Watching a PPV program
is similar, except it requires you to order the
program
before you can watch it beyond
the free preview period
(usually about five minutes
after the program
starts).
Note
Your phone line must be connected to the DSS receiver in order for you to
purchase a pay-per-view program with the DSS remote control.
To order a PPV program listed in the program guide:
1
Highlight
the program
name in the guide and press the joystick.
2
Select BUY from the Purchase
Program
screen.
