Dish Network **DOES** charge a fee for not having a telephone line.
As mentioned....older DVR's are grandfathered not to have a phone line.
Newer DVR's....like in the last 5 years...REQUIRE.... a phone line to be
connected or else you have to pay a monthly $5 fee.
Period....whether you like it or not.
Dish doesn't care if you don't have a landline phone....tried that
already....pay the 5 bucks.
A lot of guys are stating that they don't have the phone line and don't pay
the fee.
What I want to know is how do they avoid the fee.....
No, I'm not going to change service providers....
No, I don't want to get HD free over the local channels....
No, I don't what to use a computer for tv viewing....
No to anything else anyone can think up....
What I want to know is how do you avoid the $5 fee on a late model Dish DVR
with no phone line??
How do I avoid this fee if I just unplug the line and do nothing else??
Lemme think a minnet......
Oh...that's right....I CAN'T!

Dish Network does **NOT** charge a fee for not having a telephone line.
When you stop and think about it, something like 28% of American households
now use a cellular phone as their sole means of 'public'
communications....sorta tough to connect a DVR receiver to a cell phone.
As for RFI...I get no interference, what-so-ever, in my Dish setup, upstairs
or down...(I didn't when I had Direct TV either.) I did when I had cable.
