PPV sure is on cable.  We get five or six channels of the crap pumped in 
over the cable in my neck of the woods.  You call a six digit telephone 
number, it ANI's you to your account records, and then tweaks the 'key' 
into your box for the duration of the show.  End of the month, you get 
a bill for the program.  That's what us country folks call "pay per view."

Maybe you're looking for Satellite-Dish-TV-Piracy-Punks or 
Small-Dish-Digital-TV-Piracy-Punks?  They're up the corner, around on the 
left -  can't miss 'em.
