Do you have PPV on your TV?
This is the first time a rez has hinged on someone needing PPV. 2 rooms, 5 nights.
The rez was already made months ago. They just found out they have to watch something during their stay.
 
THAT sounds lame to me. I would ask what it is they must watch. That cancellation excuse is worse than Grandma's funeral. Check Netflix
 
I don't know any b&b that has PPV. It would take a sophisticated system to allow a guest to pay for a program and it not be stuck on your bill!
Our cable company refused to have 'on demand' in our separate innkeepers house because it would be available in the guest rooms. After I screamed loud enough, they bent the rules and gave us a dvr box. There's no way we'd have a PPV available for our guests to rack up bills.
Are these people giving you enough notice of cancellation if/when they find out you don't have it?

It's not until summer. They decided to come later in the year.
But, yeah. Had to see this PPV show.
 
I have PPV available. It's part of the package. I don't think anybody has ever used it. If they do, I won't know it until the cable bill arrives and I'll have to try to figure out who used it!
I did lose a reservation once because I didn't have the particular sports channel they wanted to watch that weekend.
Life went on.
 
It's quite possible that their life is enjoying TV. Nothing wrong with that. Different strokes.
 
Life is more than a dang TV (movie, etc) show! I say GET A LIFE!

Now back to your regular programming!
Glad they chose to come another time.

Same here. But these requests happen so rarely, I think once in 20 years, I am not worried. I have apple TV available if they want it. But really, they are suppose to be out and enjoying being away from home
What exactly does PPV stand for. I have tried all sorts of words but none made any kind of sense.

Thanks :)
 
Does the rez include May 2? just heard there is a BIG boxing match on PPV that night. Speculation is the fee for PPV will be about $100.
