pay-per-view

so i ordered my first pay-per-view today, a gift from dish network. question is how many times can i play the movie.

Depends on the movie and your receiver, if it is limited and you have a dvr, (you will see a notification when you order it) you have 24 hours after your first playback then it is unwatchable. If no note, then as long as you have it on your dvr. You can record the movie a few times over the 24 hour period for when you order it. If you don't have a dvr, then it is only for the 24 hour period in which you order it.
