Spending limits are in effect only
when the system is locked. See
“Locking the System,” later in this
section, for details.
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. You can preview movies on certain channels to
determine if you would like to purchase them. See “Using the
Attractions Guide” and “Previewing and Purchasing,” next in this
section, for more information.
