considering Tivo NEED HELP!
Ok so I have DirecTV and love the provider and now want to update my receiver to a DVR / Tivo.
I do not have a home land line phone. What are my options being that I do not want to get a home land line phone?
My wife and I both use cell phones and cable modem for internet access. With the taxes and all we really do not want / nor need a land line phone.
How do I go about getting / setting up without a land line phone here at home a new DVR / Tivo system?
I have tried to do some reading on different websites and all it has done is keep me a little confused.
I am hoping that some of you all here know how to deal with my problem and could inform me as to how to proceed.
Thanks in advance,

When you do want a pay-per-view or special event, you have to order it via the internet or via cell phone with a surcharge for handling the call.

The land line is only necessary for ordering pay-per-views or other types of programming. When you call them up, tell them that you don't have a land line and they will set the boxes to not attempt to validate via phone line.

UPDATE:
I called today and the girl at DirecTV was clueless:
She was maybe 18 in what sounded like a very hectic call center and informed that that I HAVE to have a phone line.
So now I am a little frustrated as I assumed this would be a little wee bit simpler than it seems to be unfolding at this point.
I plan to go to some retailers and ask around about this subject but I do not look forward to this task.
IS THERE ANYONE who can help me with this subject.
Many thanks in advance
