When you order a Pay Per View event from
live TV or select a Pay Per View event in
"$ & * or the Program
Guide, you see the
$ && screen for Pay Per View. Options on the
$
&&
screen vary, depending on whether the event selected is
currently showing, is already scheduled to record, or is currently available to be
purchased through the Receiver. Though some events have dedicated channels that
allow ordering more than 24 hours in advance, you usually cannot use the Receiver to
purchase a Pay Per View event more than 24 hours before the event airs.

* If the Receiver does not have purchase information—
such as the price of the Pay Per View event—immediately available, it can do a
short check for it. If the Receiver gets purchase information, the event will become
available to purchase and record. To check for purchase information the Receiver
must briefly tune to a special channel. If you are recording a program, checking for
pricing information this way may create a short skip in the recording. The skip is
usually less than two seconds but may be up to ten seconds long. The Receiver
provides a confirmation screen so you can avoid such a skip by choosing not to
check for purchase information.
If the Receiver finds purchase information by tuning away, the
screen will be refreshed with the new information and you will have the option to
purchase the program. If the Receiver cannot find purchase information, you will
be informed that purchase information is not available.
