I was wondering if it's possible to overload my phone line. I've got regular voice, an alarm system, DSL, and now I'll have satellite on the same phone line. I realize that the voice part is on a different frequency than the others, but do the DSL, home alarm and satellite receiver use same frequencies? Is there a possible problem having three items like that?
My security company told me that, if I have DSL, then I need to get a "filter" put on the line. I never paid the extra bucks for the filter and everything still seems to work fine. The alarm company always calls when I accidentally trigger the alarm. And my Dish Network 6000U shows the caller ID just fine. And I never have problems with my DSL connection. So, maybe I'm just paranoid? I'm just thinking about how everything is using the phone line now-adays and I'm wondering if I will ever run into problems with it. Like if I wanted to eventually go to wireless DSL or something.
