Vonage I have an HR21 DVR with VOD activated. You will have to have a phone line connected
I have an HR21 DVR with VOD activated. You will have to have a phone line connected to order PPV using the remote. This will not work with your ethernet broadband connection. I've discussed this at length with DirecTV technical help. If you do not have a phone line connected, you will be able to order PPV through the remote until you reach a certain predefined money limit. At that point in time you will not be able to order anymore PPV through the remote until those movies are reported through the phone line to DirecTV. That is how it was explained to me by technical help at DirecTV. Unfortunately, I have Vonage and the receiver will not make a connection through my Vonage line to DirecTV. It simply dials the 1-800 number over and over again to no avail. I have recorded and watched two PPV movies, neither of which have been reported to DirecTV and added to my bill. I have told DirecTV about these two movies and have explained that since the receiver will not connect to DirecTV through my Vonage line or report them through the ethernet connection, the only way that they are going to know that I watched them is through word of mouth! I suspect that sometime in the near future they will do a firmware update and this funtion will be available through the broadband connection. At that time I will probably be charged for those two movies. I hope I haven't forgotten them by then, because I may think they are charging me for two movies I didn't watch! In the mean time you can go online and order PPV that way.
