Saber, as I understand it the only time you need the phone line connected is for pay per view otherwise you can order movies online or through the phone. I have the older unit in my PA which is the H10-250 that is a Tivo unit and it is never connected to a phone line I just get an occasional message that says it needs to phone home and the message gets ignored and I have no disruption of service at all. I have the HR20 MPEG4 DVR at home and it's connected by phone but it's not necessary as all upgrades and guide data are transmitted via satellite. Hope this helps.
