Spending Limits
Use the Spending Limit option to indicate a per-event spending limit for
Pay Per View programs.
1.
Point to Spending Limit, and press OK.
2.
Select the user profile you’d like to set a spending limit for, then use
the digits on the remote control or use the arrow buttons to enter a
single-program spending limit.
You can set a per-event spending limit for each Profile.
After a spending limit is set and the system is locked, you must enter a
password to purchase a Pay Per View program that costs more than your
spending limit allows.
Pay Per View Programs
Pay Per View (PPV) programs are DIRECTV programs that you can
purchase—like a movie ticket—if you subscribe to DIRECTV
®
programming and have your digital satellite receiver connected to a
telephone line (see the “Setup and Connections” section for more
information). You can preview movies on certain channels to determine
if you would like to purchase them. See “Previewing and Purchasing”
and “Using the Attractions Guide,” next in this section, for more
information.
Important!
Spending limits are in effect only when
the system is locked. See “Locking the
System,” later in this section, for details.
