    DVR HD Does it require a Phone Line?

    Just ordered direct tv again and switched from DISH--was advised by two people there that you have to have a land line hooked up to the DVR in order to use it. So I ordered the the HD receiver instead due this requirement. I use a Cell phone for my home phone so I do not have a land line. Can...

    Would you pay more for more HD content?

    I would like more HD content. I feel that there should be more channels included in the first pack. I don't thing DISH would include HDPPV ($5.99) each in this package. I think your 12 pack should be the $9.99 package and Tier up from there.

    811--Just ordered my receiver from DISH for $149

    I would call again and tell the CSR to check their computer. The only reason I was able to order through DISH was because I ordered from them originally. If you ordered through retailer you need to call them. Good luck.
