    I would suggest using a friend's phone line this first time. After the initial call, it doesn't really matter anymore. But yes, you have to use a phone line to "activate" the dvr functions. If you have broadband, you can also use something called a "PPP serial" connection that basically uses...

    I just went throught this myself. I bought the RCA wireless phone jack setup and it did not work. I then found out there was a difference between wireless phone jacks and wireless modem jacks.

    I switched from Directv to Dish and it was the WORST mistake I have ever made! I wanted to go HD and Dish would give me a free 811 and 522. I tried it. I hated it. Buggiest equipment I have ever used. Always an error, always having to download the guide. I HATE it. My wife HATES it. We are going...
