    No Phone Line + Regional Sports Network

    If you download the latest national firmware update, you don't need a landline. I have always received all my programming without a landline. You can order PPV online with your username and pin, and all of your receivers will get all the PPV you ordered for the same price versus using the...

    Am I getting ripped off!?!?

    If you are performing a service, it should never come out of your own pay. If you are an independent contractor/HSP under contract maybe. But if you are employed by a HSP, I don't think you should have any expenses out of your pocket to benefit the HSP or DirecTV. How do you pay your bills...

    Do I need a land based phone line for service?

    If you search Earls comments on DBStalk the current national release available for the HR20-700 will communicate appropritely to DirecTV without a phone line connected, if you have it networked with internet. The reason for this is DirecTV realizes many are going wireless and dropping twisted...

    Do I need a land based phone line for service?

    You say they are statements of fact, but I'm not going to help a hostile person who is not nice. Statements of fact are truths not BS. :eek:

    Do I need a land based phone line for service?

    I don't care about the HR21, and you won't get facts that are accurate about that model from DBSTalk, but if you are patient you can do a search and learn how to use DirecTV's website to get the facts you need. I'm not getting paid to hold your hand.

    Do I need a land based phone line for service?

    Look you don't need to talk to anyone to get CE, or VOD, all you need to do is connect your receiver to the internet and you are good to go, no need to talk to you or DBSTalk. DBStalk and other sites go to DirecTV.com's help and forum site, and then take credit for what is posted to help...

    Do I need a land based phone line for service?

    You don't need to register with DBSTalk or any other site to download CE! If you had the technical knowledge you would know this. So it's clear you have issues with me, and I don't care. People will see through this and have the intelligence to see the truth. I have not registered with CE...

    Do I need a land based phone line for service?

    Well if this is accurate then DBStalk is inaccurate, and again proves my suspicion and confirmation with DirecTV that they are not an authorized site, and it's dishonest employees whom are leaking misinformation to take credit and make money on that site.

    Do I need a land based phone line for service?

    If you have the latest national release, and you have a your IRD/STB/Receiver with an internet connection enabled, then that works the same as a telephone line. So no you don't need the telephone line if you have your Receiver on the Internet. You can order PPV's online with your account, this...

    Resetting a locked H20

    I don't use passwords but I can say on older receivers DirecTV can in fact erase the password block via satellite.

    Purchasing on-demand content (VOD) without phone line

    If you have the latest national release on your receiver, and you are connected to the internet you are fine. It probably is better to order online via DirecTV.com because all your receivers connected to your satellite dish will get the PPV order. Generally VOD is no cost, to compete with...

    Simple Question re: Phone line

    Also if you have the latest CE or national release for the HR20, and have an internet connection, that works the same as having a phone line. It communicates to DirecTV via Internet instead of phone line. :)

    Rejoining Directv

    Yes that is true, they will likely restart you on the discount and packages you had when you canceled. Especially if the account number stays the same.

    Is there a Directv contact like CEO@dishnetwork.com?

    Jimbo your memory fails you. Other postings you have been agreeable.

    Deals...

    Personally I think the customer should get a wonderful deal, I wish that were always the case, but we know it's not, I hope it does workout, but again no guarantees. Hope to be proved wrong, but if it does work out, it's no guarantee it will continue in the future.

    Deals...

    I have searched, checked out Costco, etc... no such deal, there is for H20 HD receiver. Not for the HR20 HD DVR. The truth is it is unpredictable who will get what, and when. Some have the belief they should be special and get better deals. I'm not referring to possible store discounts, I'm...

    It is not showing up, SatelliteGuys.US is blocking it for a reason. You maybe able to see it, but the rest of the members cannot. There have been sites others have tried to post and have been blocked.

    I don't see any thread or URL JAG so others have already discussed this in other post's, so I guess it is you who cannot read.

    That is for the H20 which is not a DVR.

    Don't hold your breath on what JAG72 says, but I'm confident based on what I tell you that it will be something you will discover as fact.

    What Vermont customers are getting Boston HD Locals?

    I know some communities in Vermont are, but I forgot the zip code, and now the DirecTV.com website for checking locals hasn't been working, that is why I am asking. It's strange to me that I live in Massachusetts less than 100 miles from Boston and cannot get HD locals, but New Hampshire and...

    I don't think there is any loyalty to you because you feel you are a better customer than others. I have seen longstanding customers who have never made calls and by a simple request decided to say goodbye to DirecTV. There isn't anything set in stone. Don't think your years with DirecTV has...
