Watching Purchased PPV Events

NOTE: When watching your Pay-Per-View event, make sure you're viewing with a high-speed internet connection. Pay-Per-View purchases are non-refundable, so we want to make sure you have the best viewing experience!

Once you've purchased a Pay-Per-View (PPV) event, there are three ways to find and view your event:

1. A new channel for the event will be added to the top of your guide.

Tech Tip: If you do not see this channel within five minutes of ordering, restart and/or log out and log in again.

2. Go to the Search menu and type “PPV” to pull up your new PPV channel.

3. You can also find your PPV event in the Home Screen Spotlight up to one hour before it airs.

Want to watch it again? Encore viewings of this event are available for up to 48 hours in the PPV Channel’s Watch It Again section.

If you're unable to locate your event, using any of the steps above, try closing and re-launching Sling on your device. Still not seeing your event? Sign out of your Sling app by selecting Settings > Account > Sign Out. Once you've signed out, try signing back in.
