I'm about to switch to DirecTV from Dish (although I still have time to back out) and noticed that they strongly urge you to have your DVR connected to a land-line phone line.
The logisitics of my house and the fact that I have Vonage would make it a pain to do that unless I bought a wireless phone jack.
I talked to a DirecTV technical-support guy and he said that I'd be able to run it OK without a phone line, but it could become slow and eventually lockup. In that case, it would be rebooted and I'd lose the programs that had been saved.
Has anybody else had any experience with this?
Thanks in advance!
