No phone line clarification...

...if a customer has 1 722 only and has no phone line and they were installed in January, will the $5 fee be waived on their second bill which would be for month 3? Thanks.

No, the only way to waive the additional tuner fee is to hook up the receiver to either a phone line or a dsl. Additional receiver or leased receiver fee's are the only ones waived for having one receiver.

...so if the customer had a second dual tuner, then 1 of the 2 tuners would get relief of the $5 no phone connection charge. Is that correct?
