    Limits.

PAY-PER-VIEW PROGRAMS

Pay-per-view programs (PPV) are programs that you purchase - like a movie
ticket - on an event-by-event basis.  For instance, there might be a
specific channel that runs nothing but previews for movies.  After
previewing the movie, you can purchase it or find out more details about
it.  PPV programs can also be found in the Program Guide.
