Hi,
I moved my Television and DirecTV box around in my Room, and i never
hooked up the phone line. It stayede unhooked for 2 months. I ordered a PPV
here and there, and, noticed it never came up on my bill.
Hooked up the phone line, about 3 weeks ago, when i noticed it was
unhooked, and the next bill had all the PPVs i orederd. Now, i am aware it
stores all past PPV purchases on the access card.

But, what my question is. Is there any sort of "Catch" to just unhooking
my phone line, and ordering PPVs? i mean, i had it unhooked for at least 2
months.
Just curoius, if there is an catch to this, cause it seems to easy.
Would love some help
Thanks
Chuck

There is a limit to the amount of credit on the access card--I'm
not sure of the exact amount, but it's probably no more than $50. Once
you have ordered movies/events equal or close enough to that limit, to
where it has effectively been reached, without the receiver being
connected to the phone line, you won't be able to order any more until you
do connect it and let it do it's thing.

Well Chuck everytime you plug in your phone line you send the PPV info to
direct tv, this is so you can be billed for what you ordered, the catch to
not plugging in your phone line is that you can only rent about 25 PPV's
before the card is full, then you cant rent anymore until you plug in your
phone line,,OR we have others ways to get the card clean so you can watch
ALL the PPV you want, check out our site for more info
