Phone Setup
The DVR makes brief, periodic connections to DIRECTV and to the DVR service to
ensure that your DVR receives updates to the DVR service. A connection to a standard
phone line is also required for pay per view functionality.
On the Phone Setup screen, you can see details, including the time of the last successful
connection to the DVR service and last connection attempt, as well as the status of the last
connection.
