How do I prevent purchases from being made on Video On Demand or Pay Per View transactional content?

You can use your Parental Controls to block Pay-Per-View in the same manner that you would block regularly scheduled programming (by channel number, rating, or time of day). However, to prevent Pay-Per-View or OnDemand purchases from being made, you can set up a purchase pin code. This will require a pin code to authorize any purchases.

How to Set Up a Pay-Per-View or OnDemand Purchase PIN for WOW! tv+:

  • To set up your purchase pin code, go to the WOW! tv+ settings and then select WOW!TV
  • From here select User Codes and then Purchase Code
  • If setting up your purchase pin code for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the default pin code. The default is 1234.
  • After entering the default pin code, you will then be prompted to enter your new, unique pin code to use in the future
  • Please note that this same PIN is used when purchasing Adult content. As an additional layer of security - without any additional setup, the Parental Controls PIN is automatically required to enter the Adult section and view the list of content options.
