DirecTivo and Vonage

I understand it needs the phone line to do software updates and to send PPV billing info upstream.

That is true. However, you can plug into a phone line at a friend's if an update comes out. Also, PPV can still be ordered online, just not via remote.

I have had Vonage for about a month now and I have had no problem with my Philips DSR7000 Directv/Tivo. Currently I have the DSR7000 on the fax line and I have not had a problem with it calling out.

What is the model number on your ATA?

Cisco ATA 186.

I guess I'm confused. I've been reading this thread because a DirecTivo may be in my future, and I just ordered Vonage. The ATA that I was sent is a Motorola one, not a Cisco. Is this new? Or, is the motorola actually a Cisco ATA in a different box? If it's a different ATA, has anyone had any experiences with their DirecTivo and this motorola box?

As far as I can tell, everyone is now getting a Motorola VT1000(VT1005).

couldnt you just get into the directivo and run somthing like minicom and change the modem speed through there and save it??? sounds to me like it would work but im a newbie so give me a break

Changing the dial prefix to a telephone number may not be your best option if you are on the 500 minute plan running a series 1 DTiVo.

Series 1 owners (and not just VoIP users) have been reporting excessive DirecTV dialing behavior. When you change the dialing prefix I believe your DirecTV calls will be made using that number. I have experienced more than 100 minutes of DirecTV calls per month.
