your permission.
• You may have been away from 
the receiver, and someone else 
used it.
• Lock the purchase of pay per view programs. Remember that 
you are responsible for all pay per view purchases, whether or 
not you authorize such purchases. If you lock pay per view 
purchases, then anyone who wants to order a pay per view 
program must enter the password.

connected to an active telephone 
line.

at all times. If you install two or more receivers, you must 
connect each receiver to an active telephone connection at all

receivers.

program, and want it to be 
available via all the receivers in 
your setup.

to up to six receivers, you must order the program for each 
receiver but you only pay for the program once.
