Anybody have Dish Network without having the receiver hooked up to the phone line?
I know they like it to work that way but is it actually required?

Tooner said:No, it does not have to be hooked to the phone. Mine hasn't been hooked into the phone for several years. I believe the phone hook up is for ordering pay per view movies and such.

There are still both types around, but the 2 way satellite is gaining ground.
