They want you to spend some money.
That's what I am thinking. But it doesn't seem to make sense to put locks on the DVR only to be able to bypass them on Sling. What if I accidentally select a PPV movie thinking that it is HBO?
The curious thing is that I have been using Sling for months and only now did PPV start to show up. Perhaps it is a glitch.
Did you check your receiver locally, and make sure that stuff is STILL locked out? Perhaps it got unlocked somehow, so the Sling guide would reflect that..

Perhaps it is a glitch. I just wondered if anyone else had this problem.
