    why is my direcTivo dialing out so much??

    hey i tried the 5 pauses thing....and i got about the same success rate...then i tried to dial out without any prefixes or call waiting prefixes and it dialed out fine.....dialed out to get a local call list...and i selected to dial without the 1 in front...so just the area code and the number...

    why is my direcTivo dialing out so much??

    ive got about a 50% call successful rate.... so it could just be that the call fails and it keeps trying till it connects and the call goes through?

    how many receivers is too many...

    i know directv says u can add as many receivers as you want, but what is the number that directv looks at before they start getting suspicious of account splitting? and if i do get the call, what information do they ask for? thanks

    DTV in Canada...

    ok i did some more searching and was able to use vonage to dial out my receiver, i needed a call waiting prefix of "*99,,," (wihtout the quotes of course) and a dial prefix of "12122717103" and it worked like a charm but explain to me this Serial PPP thing, are there tutorials out there...
