phoneline and network connection question

The 722 can use either phone or dsl connection, the 625 can only use the phone line.

If you have broadband connected you don't need the phone line. The only thing is though if you don't have a phone line connected, you will not have called id. Like garys said, your 625 doen't have a broadband connection. Phone line only.

Try belt and suspenders--phone for caller ID and broadband for remote access. Then if either is failing and you haven't noticed, you have a backup.

I think we tend to forget the real reason for the phone hookup is to ensure you pay for PPV.... I found the $5 charge on my bill, called, and hope it is removed. All 3 recorders were always connected. Actually the prior month only had one "TV2 Receiver Connection" charge for $0. This month's was $5+$0. I have AEP. Of course, they don't credit immediately--"billed in advance." It made me act to remove a lingering DHPP charge so they lost money although only the DHPP charge is acknowledged by e-mail from the CSR call--the phone is a separate department. What refund? All receivers now have both B & S.
