Use the parental controls on each receiver to set the spending limits to zero then you can lock it with a four digit code or leave it unlocked if you don't think they can change it, this only prevents the remote from ordering PPV.

Go into the menu and in your Parental Controls select Spending Limit.

Set limit to $0 (Limit is per PPV, not a total cap or monthly, so this prevents all)

You will be protected by a 4 digit code of your choosing.

Parental Controls are separate per receiver (Clients share controls of the main Genie).

 

This protects PPV orders by the remote control itself. It has no affect on you logging into your account line and ordering PPVs or from doing so over the phone.
