I don't. A lot of the movies on PPV seem to be ones that are already out on DVD. And I don't order events anymore since I lost interest in wrestling a couple of years ago.

I don't have cable, which makes getting PPV quite hard. Anything I want to see on PPV, I just had to an official Blast Area.

I've never watched PPV. Well, I've never ordered it. Once i watched something on it without ordering it. The picture was semi-clear and the sound was normal, and I was bored. And for you perverted people, no, it wasn't porn.

I never get something from PPV. I care nothing for all the sporting events they carry, and as for movies, it's better to rent a DVD for a dollar at the Wherehouse.

Not a one, not in probably 4 1/2 years or so, and I don't intend to ever do so again. Too expensive, and in my opinion, not worth the money. But then again, I also don't go to the movies or rent anything frequently either. We go to maybe 2 movies a year, and rent maybe 6 a year if we're lucky.

I've only ordered PPV once in the 5 or so years I've had satellite. I haven't rented a movie in 5 years or so. I see only a couple movies in theaters a year. I just wait for HBO or DVD...

Nope, never. I've watched a couple boxing matches at my friends house since his Dad works for PPV and gets everything free, but never ordered it myself.

I already pay $78 a month for TV licence and digital satellite and I refuse to pay any more.

Looks like no one gets stuff on PPV. Back when I had a satellite dish, my mom would get PPV every so often. Maybe once every other month. If it was a movie she wanted to see, she'd do it. The only PPV I watched was Drew Carey's Improv All-Stars, which was pretty much every from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" on an hour-long improv special. It was hilarious!

I was thinking of getting some of the concerts they sell on PPV for the Dish Network, like 311 and Phish.

coaster9freak, we never even had it! We don't have any of the movie channels, no satellite or digital, only your basic sort of cable. Yes, we do have the "expanded" package, but only because of the way our cable company bundles channels, so we have to get that in order to get the half-dozen or so channels that we really do watch frequently.
