I haven't had a land line for over 20 years. Don't know about your needs.

Landlines have no association with Dish receiver anymore, other than caller ID

Years ago when the 322/522 first came out, after the initial download a screen would pop up and make you connect a phone line and it would check for a dial tone before you could continue. I am convinced Dish only came out with those 2 TV receivers to assist in their obsession with account stacking.

I'll make it easy for you.....No, no you don't.

I use the Ooma free phone service for my landline; you just have to pay taxes and federal fees. It does provide some redundancy.

I haven't had a landline in decades. I traveled full time in my RV for 10 years with 2 722s and later with Hopper. A landline would have been difficult.
Currently have Hopper III it has never seen a landline.

Nope. Get rid of it.

I have to admit, even when my cell phone rings, I'll glance at the TV for the caller ID. Old habits die hard.

The landline at our family cottage in upstate NY uses an ObiHai analog telephone adapter (ATA) with free VOIP service from Google Voice. The calls also ring through to my cell phone using the Google Voice app..
