Do I need a land based telephone line to access NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTv?

Posted on October 6th, 2009 by admin in access on line | 2 Comments »

I have been told by sales staff 5 times that I don’t need a land based telephone line but an official DirecTv email response said I did need one.

I can’t seem to get a definitive answer. What are the cheapest landlines?

No. You don’t need the phone line connected to your directv receiver for anything but ordering pay-per-views with your remote and if you had TiVo (phone lines are required to get TiVo updates).
Directv always says on all ads that a phone line is required, but it’s really not except for the above reasons.
