How to block purchases

Am sure through the receiver, no one watches anything online except me. Freaking kids man. But ya that is what i just did exactly, i just thought there is more to it than that. Thanks for the help.

Make sure you set parental controls on each receiver. As mentioned, Spending Limits to $0 is very important as that is a limit per purchase (not a lifetime or monthly cap).

How can i set the payment limit on stream to $0.00?

there is no option in parental controls to do that on directv stream.

This is the DTV sat forum, try the streaming forum.

If you have DIRECTV STREAM, there is a different section of the forum. This is DirecTV (satellite) service.

i just got off the phone with direct tv customer support and there is nothing set up at this time to limit spending. 

my 95 year old father just purchased a $20 movie.....  no one there knows anything.    you cannot limit or put a pin in for purchasing a on demand or movie or sporting event.    We only have this service because he want to watch MLB and dish no longer carries the channels needed to watch baseball  -- 

it cannot be done

Do you have DIRECTV STREAM or DIRECTV satellite?

You can absolutely limit spending on PPVs for DirecTV. (satellite)

However, you cannot do so for DIRECTV STREAM. (streaming-only)

I take it you have DIRECTV STREAM. This is the DirecTV (satellite) section of the forum.

@Juniper,  we have a set top box in house for viewing directv stream 

That would be why. DIRECTV STREAM unfortunately doesn’t have this feature at the given moment (no one knows if/when they will add it).

As suspected, you have DIRECTV STREAM which doesn't have those parental control options to send spending limits to block PPVs.

This thread is in the DirecTV section. That is the satellite service which does have those blocks. Unfortunately DIRECTV STREAM does have the same options.
