If you request to view a programme (probably a film), which is chargeable, do you get a warning or is it possible to inadvertently incur costs ?

The Sky engineer told me that you should get two warnings before accepting, but people on the Sky forum dispute this .

It's perfectly obvious that you are being charged and you have to agree. Indeed, it's possible to further prevent "inadvertent" PPVs by setting PIN protection for PPVs for anything more than £0.00.

I do think Sky are crafty with PPVs on "Showcase", as they happily sit Sky Store side-by-side with non chargeable material.

Thank you.

How can someone 'inadvertently' agree to view, if they have ample warnings ?Just being dozy ?

They can't, unless they just click through without reading...
