One more dish/direct tv question

[lesliepear]

One thing I'm curious about - direct tv said they'd hook up dvd's and vcr's but dish tv said it was at the installers discretion - they also said they'd give a 5.00 discount for having a phone hooked to the tv, why do they do that?

You plug a phone line into the back of the unit. I have no clue why they give you a discount for it..I thought it was a requirement. Basically if you order any pay-per-view service/movie it needs that to send the information to the unit. Also..what I find handy is that it displays the number of the person who is calling on your tv when the phone rings. There have been a few occasions where I've just said..ok..that's a telemarketer..don't bother interrupting my show for that! hehe :)
