[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 963948, member: 52972"] Eddie, Yes, I too liked the DirecTV service and the occassional "Rain Fade" was never a big deal..rarely lased more than 10 or 15 minutes. My only issue is the DirecTV requirement that you have land-line phone connected to your receiver. I actually disconected my phone from the satellite system for about a year, and the only thing that happens is you cannot order Pay Per View movies. It appears that they store the charges in you receiver and then periodically the internal modem dials up DirecTV and transfers the PPV data to them for billing. I will probably call DirecTV Monday and see if I can get their service without having a land-line. If they require one, I may get one until after the system is installed and then cancel the phone service. I have a MagicJack and a cell phone, so I have no need for a land-line phone. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
