About PPV
Passport DCT allows you to purchase up to eight PPV programs directly from
your settop. For each PPV program, the cable provider determines the specifics
of the offer, such as the price, the buying window of opportunity, whether there
is a free preview, and whether you can cancel a purchase.
You can purchase PPV programs from dedicated PPV channels or the program
guide. You can purchase PPV programs in advance, or, in certain circumstances,
after the program has started. Additionally, you can set your VCR to record any
PPV program. You can restrict which household members can purchase PPV
programs by requiring the personal identification number (PIN).
Note: In some cases, a telephone number may display for ordering a particular program
rather than button options. In this case, call the number to order your PPV
program.
