I do have a phone connection as they request. In order to order pay per view quickly and efficiently it is necessary.
"I do have a phone connection as they request"
I use my DirecTV mainly in my RV. I have never connected to a telephone (on't have one) and if I ever wanted to get PPV, I would call them for it on my Cell.
Can't say if they can monitor. Call and ask. But don't take an answer from normal tech support, ask for a hiigher level.
