Pay Per View Your DIRECTV® DVR makes buying and recording pay per view events a snap. You can order them when they are promoted on live TV, or during a search for programs, to watch or to be recorded to watch later. And the whole transaction can be handled using your remote control. (A connection to a standard phone line is required for pay per view functionality.) Ordering from live TV. While watching live TV, you may see a promotion for a pay per view event with an Ipreview® icon like this one: Press THUMBS UP™ or SELECT while you see the icon to view the Program Information screen for pay per view. From here, you can purchase the event and schedule a recording. You may see similar messages reading "Press Select" and "Next Showing" while watching previews on pay per view channels. Press SELECT to see the Program Information screen for pay per view, which includes purchase and recording options. Pay Per View Program Information. When you order a pay per view event from live TV, or select a pay per view event in Pick Programs to Record or the Program Guide, you see the pay per view Program Information screen. Options on this screen vary, depending on whether the selected event is currently showing, is already scheduled to record, or is currently available for purchase. Though some events have dedicated channels that allow ordering more than 24 hours in advance, you usually cannot use the DVR to purchase a pay per view event more than 24 hours before the event airs.
