Sorry for the infantile questions, but I am new to the whole dish network industry.
My question concerns the telephone / landline requirement. Dish Network claims that I must have a land line to use the dvr 522, or any other receiver.
What does the dvr 522 use the telephone connection for? Does it use this data connection to download its updates, to retrieve information about your receiver, or to merely transmit a PPV request? Furthermore, can I use my broadband connection for this "necessary" data transfer?
I do not currently have a landline and was not planning on installing one.
Do I need a landline? What kind of functionality will I loose by not having one?
