I know you need a land line to order movies and PPV , But, suppose you don't care about that.

1. I think there is a way to hook up to a wireless network |
|
I may be completely talking out of my ass though.

I never hook mine up to the land line, but it still works somewhat reliably.

3. No you don't need one ... I only have a cell phone. |
|
I have Direct TV and the cord is hooked into an out of service phone line but I don't use it as a land line. And everything works fine.

The PPV is the only reason for the phone line. At least that was the case with Bell ExpressVu up here when I had that.

5. You'll need a land line to call and cancel |
|
when you decide it sucks.... :)
Just kidding... I've never had Direct, but Dish charges an extra 5 per month if you don't have it hooked up to a phone line (protection against putting other receivers on your account that are not at your home)
You can call and order PPV - its only a hassle if you do it constantly... for the once every few months I did it, calling in to order was no problem.

if you don't want to do PPV or Tivo, it works just as well from the Sat.
And the only reason I have my land line still is for the Tivo.
I have had direct for about two years and I haven't had any problems.

I use the DVR quite a bit. Man. I wanted to go without a landline.
