Pay Per View (PPV)

Programs from BendBroadband Alpha’s Pay Per View offerings will also appear

in the Channels category. If the show is not currently airing, you’ll be given the

option to preorder.

If the show is currently airing, you’ll be able to purchase and watch it immediately.

If the show has been airing for a signiﬁcant period of time, the purchase window

may be closed, even if you can still see it in the Channels category.

The ﬁrst time you purchase a PPV or VOD program or activate Parental Controls,

you’ll be asked to create a PIN. You’ll enter this PIN whenever you make an ad-

ditional purchase. If you prefer, you can turn off the PIN prompt from the Parental

Controls section of the Settings category. See the “Settings” chapter for details.

You can also lock a PPV show with Parental Controls, and the show’s title will no

longer appear in the menu, nor will anyone in your household be able to watch it

without entering your PIN, even if the show has been purchased.

Change Time Slot

If you want to compare what’s on in the future across multiple channels, start from

TV Channels, press the NEXT button, and the entire vertical list will show the next

half hour’s programming. Shows that have not started airing yet will appear gray,

while currently-airing shows will be black.

You can use the NEXT button to view up to two weeks of upcoming shows. The

BACK button will take you one half hour earlier. The SKIP button advances the

category forward 24 hours, and the REPLAY button goes back 24 hours. If you

browse to another TV category, like a ﬁlter or TV Favorites, the time slot will be

maintained. To return to the current time, just press the MENU button.

You can also use the Change Time Slot card to move the category to a future time

slot. With that card selected, press the right arrow. Use the up and down arrows

to select a time slot, and press OK. The vertical band will now display the time

slot you selected.
