I have Dish and they do not require you to have a phone line installed and will charge $5 extra per month as a service fee. The interesting thing is you can still order movies from the remote and they still show on the bill. Odd what it is for.

But they do wave the $5 if you have one of their more advanced receivers (HDTV) that allows you to connect your broadband internet to the receiver which actually gives you other benefits like video and programs on demand and many other features that make it worthwhile.

Since I only use cell service and the magic jack at the lake, but I do have DSL internet, I hooked up the broadband and it works great and save the $5.
