About PPV
Pay-Per-View (PPV) service puts you in control of your entertainment viewing, enabling you to order programming on demand. Our PPV line-up features two movie channels and one special event channel connecting you to a wide variety of hit movies and unique special events.
Pay-Per-View is an optional service that must be ordered using a UNITS converter box and remote control (impulse ordering). To order Pay-Per-View movies or events, you must first set up the service by creating your own 5-digit Access Code and acquire a converter box from UNITS. You also need to have UNITS Basic Cable service in order to add PPV services. The person that orders the converter box must establish the Pay-Per-View service and create the Access Code. Your Access Code is tied to your converter box for Pay-Per-View ordering purposes and to your UNITS account for billing purposes. Only one Access Code per converter box can be created.
PPV Programming and Pricing
PPV programming and pricing varies and is available through your converter box’s On-screen Interactive Viewing Guide. The On-screen Interactive Guide provides movie titles, prices, playtimes, ratings and brief descriptions. This information is accessible by pressing either the “Menu” or “Guide” buttons on the remote, or by going directly to one of the Pay-Per-View channels.
