How often do you get PPV movies?

I must admit a long time ago I used to watch a ton of movies on PPV on my satellite. Now I don't just because I don't have time and I am so delayed I catch them when they come out on the regular channels.

How often do you get a ppv movie on satellite or cable?

I never watch pay per view movies. Actually were cable free for the summer, so there's no opportunity. But during the winter, we never buy them. We either catch it when it's still in the theater or wait for the dvd (or cheat a little bit

).

Probably two or three times per year. It's cheaper than the theater and easier/cheaper than renting at the video store.

I've actually never used it. I pretty much just buy any movie I think is worth watching. Or, get it from the library for free.

I don't have satellite so I've never used it! It always sounded like a pretty good service and one I'd use a lot to be honest.

I guess I never really thought to use it simply because there were so many other options available. I wonder how popular it is overall.

I used to use it because I did not have to worry about returning the movies to the video store which always got me into big trouble.

We ended up getting one the other night. $4 and we never had to leave the house. Not bad at all.

Rarely anymore ...since Netflix came into existence I get all my films from them. If I get myself on the early lists for new releases, I usually see them before they're on ppv anyway.

We watch them once a month as a family but it's just part of our commitment to take a day for ourselves and relax. If we don't find what we want, usually we rent a DVD.
