If someone were using their CAM ID (access card ID) they likely would not try ordering PPV. In any case, they'd have to either make a voice calll or have the receiver dial out on a phone line. in both cases they should ask DishNetwork for confirmation of what phone line the request for the movies came in on. Then just say, "nope, wasn't me, reverse it please" and they should take it off. Heck, even if someone in the house did order it, they should reverse it no questions asked. It only takes a second to threaten to switch to DirecTV.

Edit: More reasons it's unlikely the PPV order came from outside this person's home...

- If someone else is using their CAMID it's because they've hacked the card. If they've hacked the card, they've more than likely got all channels open (no need to order anything).
- The access card also has the receiver ID recorded on it (this is visible on a sticker on the receiver) as well as an EEPROM ID (which is not visible on any stickers or literature accompanying the units).
- If such a hacked card were connnected to a receiver that was also conected to a phone line, DishNetwork would see TWO "customers" using the same ID (but on two different receivers) and suspend (blacklist) the CAM ID. So he'd have no TV.
- If a call were placed manually for PPV request that would likely raise a flag if the same CAM ID were already hooked up and in service on another phone line.
