Before anyone fusses because I'm asking about a topic which is in many past threads, I am simply wanting to verify what will/will not happen as my desire is to ditch my landline phone service. And, I have studied over the past threads. First, I have been a DISH customer for 5 years; I have always had 2 receivers with phone lines continuously connected to both. I currently have a 722k and a 211 with a broadband connection to the 722k. So, here is my thinking so please comment or verify as needed.
Without a phone line connection...
- I will not be charged ANY kind of additional receiver fee(s), because I have been continuously connected to a phone line for 5 years, plus I have paperless billing and autopay. It seems the 2nd receiver phone line requirement was eliminated or changed in February, 2010, in conjunction with the typical February rate increases/changes.
- I can still order PPV and VOD via remote as well as Dish on Demand, etc, because I have a broadband connection only on the 722k.
- I will lose the Caller ID display.
- My above notes mainly apply to the 722k. My 2nd receiver is a non-DVR 211. It currently has no broadband connection. With neither the phone line or the broadband connected to the 211, will there be any negative impact? What is the advantage anyway of having a broadband connection to a 211? I would have to purchase the connector for it, and I've not seen any visible advantage to having it.
Thank you all in advance.

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
