Why only ! PPV per show id

[cableguy1000]

Am getting the first listing (ie ch 502 Scobbydoo 2) but next 2 guide listings when selected ask me if i want to purchase. These have same program id as the first one.
Any help here please !!!!!

Go to the guide, Then highlight a ppv channel, Hit info for program description, Last number is Event ID. Each PPV channel has a different ID event number.

Thats my problem, the first 3 listings have same event id.
502,503,504 all same

How come?

[BirdieMod]

63136, Yes I see that, Thats new. They are all all day ticket. First time I have seen the same event id on multiple channels.
Are you doing this with a ppv string? What rom are you using?

Am using rom10 and I with PPv string I have always used, little above highest, lowest at lowest id

not getting a lot of ppvs

Since you have a rom 10 with room for 120 tiers, Why not just lose the ppv string and add each ppv single channel tier then. I do it that way and don't have to redo it each time the id's change then. Works good.

so in the tier makers I would just select each individual channel?

[BirdieMod]

Yes, Make up a new patch with the ppv single channels each selected. You can just read your existing card, The remove the green ppv tiers, Then open your new ppv patch and write it back.

thanx for the info

[BirdieMod]

Anytime. I run it here and all is working fine, Guess thats why I did not notice the same id's on those. Flipped to them all and all open and working fine.

Well the movies showing in those two channels right now suck badly, but I have a trick if you want to watch them without programming.

Tune to the channel at the beginning of the movie, it will show the movie and ask you if you want to purchase, press cancel, the movie will keep playing for free. Drawback is you cannot change channels or go to the menu since it wont let you go back to it.

If you use Birdie's method, use standard tier (08) for each channel, don't use 0B. Works good, but very slow on my 2700 ! Yatm is easy to add these.
