• You can set up the receiver to record Pay-Per-View programs. See page 64 for more
details. You cannot record or re-record DISH On Demand programs or events.
• You can prevent others from purchasing Pay-Per-View programs by setting parental
controls and locking your receiver (see page 50).
• Keep an active phone line or broadband Internet connection attached to your receiver
at all times so you can order Pay-Per-View programs with your remote control.
Q
UESTIONS
• How can I order an event for all my DISH receivers/connected TVs?
– Order the event on each receiver, one at a time, with the appropriate remote
control. For each receiver, make sure that it is attached to an active phone line or
broadband Internet connection. You can use DishCOMM to share one receiver's
phone connection with another receiver in your home; see page 122 for details.
– Order the event over the phone at 1-877-DISH-PPV (3474-778). Fees may apply.
– Order the event online visit the mydish.com/ppv website.
• I ordered a Pay-Per-View program but can only see it on one receiver. Some Pay-
Per-View programs or events are restricted to watching on one receiver per account.
• Will I be charged more than once for ordering the same Pay-Per-View on two or
more receivers? If you're using the remote control, you won't be charged more than
once as long as it is the exact same program or event (for example, a movie starting at
the same time or the same All Day event).
• Why doesn't my Program Guide show any Pay-Per-View channels? The currently
active Favorites List may not display Pay-Per-View channels. Press the GUIDE button
repeatedly on your remote control to open the Program Guide and cycle through your
Favorites List options until you see All Channels highlighted in the pop-up window.
Then press the SELECT button. See Chapter 5: Favorites Lists on page 39 for more
information on using Favorites Lists. Also, parental controls may be set to lock and
hide Pay-Per-View channels. See Chapter 6: Locks on page 43.
• Why are some Pay-Per-View programs blacked out? Sporting events and other
programs are sometimes blacked out because of local restrictions.
• Why did my All-Day Pay-Per-View program shut off while I was watching it? The
all-day events run from 3 AM to 3 AM (Mountain Time). You should ensure you can
finish watching an event you have ordered by this time.
