Question ID: 93126
I am looking for a TV programing schedule (similar to information you
would get from the TV Guide)for the pay for view channels.  I live in
Orange, CT and the cabel TV service comes from "Cablevision of
southern Connecticut."

What is the ZIP code where you live?

Can you also let us know approximately how many pay per view channels
you receive on your cable service so we know if we've getting all the
channel info?

My zip code is  06477

I believe there are as many as eight pay for view channels.
If you discern there are less, even only one or two, that information
would answer my question.

Thanks

Just as sa_mike stated in his comments, your best (free) bet is to use
TV Guide's online service. It's easy to use, doesn't require an
account be setup and they list 5 PPV channels for your cable provider
specifically (channel 64-68). You can access this information starting
here:

http://www.tvguide.com/listings/setup/localize.asp

Simply enter your zipcode and go. Once you save your zip code, go back
to your listings at any time by clicking here:
http://www.tvguide.com/listings/

Let me know if this is sufficient to solve your problem and/or covers
all of your channels or if another solution needs to be researched.
Thanks.

The TV Guide Website is exactly what you need.  There are indeed 8 PPV
stations however not all of them show programming 24 hours a day 7
days a week.

The stations are:

1) 64 TVN1
2) 65 TVN2
3) 66 TVN3
4) 67 Playboy
5) 68 Spice
6) 68 HTNET
7) 69 URBNX
8) 110 Spice 2

To view the PPV listings in your area by time and day, follow these
instructions:

First, go to this page and enter your zip code, 06477:
http://www.tvguide.com/listings/setup/Localize.asp

Click ENTER. At the next screen select CABLE.

At the next screen select "Bridgeport/Fairfield - Cablevision of
Southern Connecticut"........ this brings you too ALL your TV
listings.  To see only PPV listings, do this:

Near the very top of the screen you will see (in red):
"Listings For: Bridgeport/Fairfield - Cablevision of Southern
Connecticut".
Right under that, click the down arrow for 'ALL CHANNELS'. 

Select PAY PER VIEW. - Then select GO on the right.

All 8 channels may not be listed on the resulting page if one or more
stations have no programming that day.

To see that there are indeed 8 channels, you'll need to select a day
at the left that is considered Prime Time, like SATURDAY night at 9
PM.

I hope this has been helpful...

Did you try tvguide.com?  I checked it out, and it had about five PPV
channels listed for your cable company (I found your zip code on
usps.com, then plugged that into tvguide.com).
