ON Home I have a couple of questions. First off does the Dishplayer have to connect to the Internet using the modem? I already have a high speed connection
into my home and would prefer to use it.
Yes, there is no other internet connection possible.
Likewise do the features of the Dishplayer for channel program descriptions require the WebTV service, or will they work with any ISP?
Channel program descriptions are via the satellite link.
It's kind of an odd question, I know. I'm guessing that it won't work as the modem is probably the only data communications feature in the system.
Good guess, but only WebTV depends on a phone connection. Everything else is via satellite.
