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
