Question

[theboysdad09]

I'm new here and have read a few post but yet to find the answer.. Must I hook up phone lines to each IRD or will I get a charge back? and what about cell only homes? Is it the law or just a Dtv "want" ?

DirecTV strongly encourages phone lines to be connected to each IRD, but it is not a requirement unless you want to order PPV with your remote control...and it is by no means a law.

There is no charge if your receiver is not connected to a phone line.

There's no charge for the customer, but it seems that installers are getting charged. That's just plain stupid since many people don't have land lines any longer.

I'm a contractor to Dtv... I am backcharged on Cell Only and on customers that DO NOT Want a phone line hooked up.

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you were posting the question as a customer and not an installer. My bad.

Don't be sorry.
The original message seems like he's a new customer asking a question.

You should goto the installer zone. And you must work for a really crappy company!

I guess the fact he's an installer & is even asking this is MORE scary to me...

Is it the law

Yes, for every IRD you do NOT hook up to phone, you'll go to jail for 5 years each...

The thing about it being a law was pretty hilarious.
