Transmission with a Dish netowrk satellite dish is impossible. One has to have an uplink transmitter in order to transmit to the satellite. Your receiver is hooked up to your phone line, when you order a movie it dials out for verification.

It used to be that you could dial out and let the order take place, unhook the phone line and it would not show up on your bill. However..I wouldn't know anything about that!

Thanks for the info. As you can tell, I'm technologically challenged, to say the least!
