Dish does not "charge" an additional $5 for not connecting a phone line. They have a $5 per receiver fee. If, instead of 2 receivers, you use one of their dual tuner receivers (still supporting 2 independent TV's), they'll waive the second $5 fee in exchange for making it more convenient to order PPV via telephone connection. The $5 difference is there - don't misrepresent it.
