Phones usually get hooked to the TV if you have a cable box that needs to talk with your cable provider for premium movie services or internet stuff. They also use the phone like to monitor your TV watching habits for marketing folks at the same time. You get a discount because you're being watched by THE MAN :)
Also, make sure there's not a hidden fee for VCR or DVD hook-ups. Sometimes there is, as it's a clever way to lure you into paying more without thinking about it. There's probably no technical reason they have to do it for you.
