Ah, I see, that works sort of like the DISH Network PPV. It's connected to the phone line and when I purchase PPV movies it "phones home" and alerts DISH Network what movie(s) I have purchased. It calls out between 3:00 and 5:00 am local.
I guess so. I watch him install it the first time, and again this afternoon. All I know is that whatever I watch gets noted somehow by that device attached to my TV and is relayed by telephone each day between 3-5:00AM.
