Hi All,
I'm a noob here looking to move from cable to D* (mostly for the NFL Sunday Ticket), but I have a question regarding the "required" phone connection on the D* receivers.
I assume that the receiver "phones home" occasionally and perhaps during pay-per-view type operations. But my question is: Can the dialed number be changed or perhaps a suffix be applied to the phone number?
You see, I have the "third" type of home phone system. Some have regular land lines, some have VOIP, but I have a land line "simulation" system call Cell Socket. You plug the Cell Socket into your home phone jack, and plug your cell phone into the Cell Socket. And Viola!, all your regular phones can dial out through your cell. There's one catch: Like all cell phones, you have to press "Send" to send the number on its way. The way this is done on a regular phone with the Cell Socket system is that you press the # key. So if the D* system needed to call XXX-YYYY, I would need to modify it to call XXX-YYYY# and I would be good to go.
So, can the number be modified in any way?
Thanks,
Scott

Nope, your SOL with the Cell Socket on 2 counts.... (I have one myself)
-First, there is NO way (not that YOU can do anyway) to put an # in the internal dialing string in any D* receivers to be dialed AFTER the destination# has been dialed. Usually you can put in digits BEFORE this number, like a 9, etc - but obviously this won't help you.
-Even if you COULD do this, you would most likely never get a connection made - if you read your instructions in for the CS, it will even tell this (will not work with modems, Tivos, etc) Digital cell phones don't pass analog modem signals well at all.
But in reality, you really DON'T need to even worry about this - while D* puts the phone BS in it's brochures, your system, other than NOT being able to order PPV by remote, will work just fine otherwise, INCLUDING getting ST. If you want to order PPV, just order it from D*'s website & it will get instantly turned on to ALL your receivers at once.
Enjoy your new D* system & welcome to SatGuys...

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"
