Will an HR20 DVR work with a 3 LNB dish? Thanks

To provide clarification, I live in Canada.

I'm definitely a newbie at all of this - what does "As long as you can get RJ-11 with dialtone to the IRD, it should work." mean (specifically "RJ-11" and 'dialtone to the IRD' Thanks

Given my location, I can't activate my Directv HR10-250 DVR through the standard land line and as well, I don't have the option of "taking it over to a friends house" to utilize his dish/telephone line. I understand there is an alternative activation method via internet/USB/wireless? I'd...

Thanks very much to all for the information... A couple of final questions (I think): 1. How do I get more info on a "serial PPP" 2. I'm from Canada - I assume making a phone connection may be 'problematic' regarding my subscription? What do you think?

I joined as a member today and read a thread (that has been closed) about someone who wanted to subscribe to DTV through a cousin in the States and hence, he was "account splitting"... My situation differs from the above in that I have no intention of account splitting/sharing. I do have a...
