Ok noob question I know but I just wanted to know how Dish and Directv receivers know what channels you're subscribed to, especially when they're not hooked up to a phone line. Do the sats tell the receivers what you're subscribed to? Does the same apply to ppv?
 
They can send a signal to the receiver from the sats. Just like when you need a password reset, this comes from the sats also.
