Ordering Movies or Sporting events through DIRECTV has never been easier. If your connected to the internet via the GENIE HD DVR or through our one of our older HD DVR receivers, its just a matter of finding the movie or event you want and selecting it.
To order a movie via internet connected receiver you can do it by channel number:
- Press ‘Guide’ button on DIRECTV remote
- Type channel 126
- Scroll down the guide using remote
- Find the newest and hottest releaseses
- Click select on the PPV title (a pop up box should appear asking you to rent PPV title)
- Select ‘Rent’ (pricing varies depending on movie or event)
- Confirm Purchase and Enjoy
OR you can order via the PPV Menu:
- Press ‘Menu’ button on DIRECT remote
- High-lite and select ‘Search and Browse’
- Select ‘Movies’ for movies or select ‘Sports’ for sporting events
- For Movies or Sports select the category you would like to watch
- Select the title
- Select ‘Rent’ (pricing varies depending on movie or event)
- Confirm Purchase and Enjoy!
If neither of these options work for you please call 1-800-531-5000 and a specialist can order the movie or event for you over the phone. They will then tell you what channel number to tune to.
