    phone line and using internet phone system

    A friend of mine currently has cable which includes cable internet and cable phone. He wants to switch to Directv. However, the phone, even though it uses the land based phone wiring/jacks, is actually a cable modem. Would you still be able to plug the satellite receivers into the phone jack?
