Subscription:
You can subscribe certain kinds of programmes for a certain period of time. What you have to
pay is independent of what you actually watch.
In the submenu you find a table that tells you which categories you have subscribed for which
period of time and at which level.
Extensive lists that do not fit on the screen are divided into several pages. Select PAGE to scroll
from one page to the other.
The following kinds of programmes ("categories") are fixed:
- art
- children´s programmes
- clublife
- entertainment
- movies
- lifestyle
- music
- news
- series
- sports
- special programmes
- nature
- mini series
- science
- all programmes
- documentaries
Some programmes come with graded access levels. The issuer can bind programme catego-
ries to bundles.
Subscription/class:
This kind of subscription works in a similar way,the only difference is that there are "classes" repre-
sented by code numbers instead of " programme categories".
Booked view:
You can select and buy certain programmes with the help of a programm preview. The price
does not depend on which of the leased programmes you actually watch.
The submenu shows a list of the programmes you have leased.
Pay per view:
The Eurocrypt card has an account that is reduced when watching TV (similar to a telephone
card). That means you only pay for the programmes you are actually watching.
The submenu informs you of the programmes that are available and their price. At the same
time the following question is displayed:
Do you want to buy this programme?
Yes
No
If you answer with yes, the decoding procedure starts. Otherwise the question is repeated in
certain periods of time.
At the beginning of the submenu a list shows the programmes that you have payed for befo-
re.
The last two lines give you an overview of your pay per view credit account with the respec-
tive provider.
