Newbie Question: Connected Phone Line Required?

[TennVolFan]

Hi, hoping for some help. Is a connected phone line required for DISH subs? TV is not near a phone jack. There's a screen message I want to get rid of. Sorry if this has been asked/answered numerous times before. Great message boards you all have here!

Well it seems that some people are too good to answer questions that have been discussed before even though someone is new..... (i mean seriously, you took the time post, just answer his question).

I'll answer. It pretty much depends on what reciever you have. If you have a 322 or 522, then yes you do need a phone line, otherwise you will incur an aditional $5 fee / month / reciever that isn't connected to a phone line.

If you have one of the other recievers, then most likely no, you won't need a phone line.

Thanks skaeight. How can I tell which type of Dish I have?

The receiver will say on it what kind it is .
