Block double billing on PPV events

[Roscoe14]

Recently I purchased the Mayweather boxing event (HD Channel $74.99) using my home remote control.  Unknown to me my 16-year-old son ordered the same event minutes later under the basic channel ($64.99).  An hour or so before the event was aired I discoverd that the same event was purchased under the HD and basic channels, via remote control.  I immediately called Verizon and spoke with a rep which he indicated to me I would'nt be charged for the basic channel order ($64.99).  However, upon recieving my bill it reflected HD channel and basic channel charges ($139.98). 

I called Verizon again and explained what had occurred, a supervisor said that on pay per view events once ordered they can't be cancelled out.  This informantion contradicts what one rep had said about I would'nt be billed for the $64.99 basic channel (not true).

I feel in order to prevent double billing of a PPV event, once you order an event on the PPV system, the system would not allow a double purchase within the same location, in this case my residence.  The supervisor I spoke with said that there is nothing I could do about being doubled billed on PPV events.  I'm sure Verizon can figure out a way to prevent this from happening, but it's all about $$$$$$.
