I think I'm getting free Pay Per View movies


We order atleast 2 movies on PPV per billing cycle on DirecTV and I have yet to see one appear on my bill. Do they itemize these things or do they just lump it into your bill?

when you order the porn movies, they call it "taxes and licensing" fees so the wives won't catch on.

You're golden!

In Ryan's case, I think the midget porn is shown on the bill, but in really really small print.

Ryan - is your DirecTV box hooked up to phone line? If not, that's why you're not getting charged for the movies. We don't have ours attached to phone lines and we were getting any PPV (including porn! ) movie we ordered free of charge for about 3-4 months.

Eventually, DirecTV will catch on and you won't be able to order from your remote until you hook up a phone line. But enjoy it while you can!

Oh, and just so you know, they never billed us for all the free PPV we were getting all that time.
