Do you have to have a house phone for...?

Question

Direct TV to be installed? I received an email saying this...

Be sure you have a working phone line to take full advantage of your DIRECTV.

I don't have a house phone and I don't want one. Do I have to get it now?

Answer 1

I think you have to have a phone to order pay per view, but you don't have to have one for the service

Answer 2

You do not need a phone line at all.  You can order Pay per View through their website.  We have DirecTV and do not have any of our receivers connected to a phone line.
