I am finally coming into the 21st century and going to swap out my old receivers for new HD DVRs. Here is my question, I no longer have a phone line in my house because my wife and I use only cell phones. When I emailed Directv Customer Service about this issue, I received the following response:
a phone line is not required to be connected to your receivers unless if you would like to make sure that any blackout for sport channels is done accurately.
I am an avid sports fan and want to avoid any problems that might cause me to miss a game I want to see. How necessary is a phone line and should I pay to have one connected?
