I forgot about my DirecTV DVRs. Actually they are also plugged into the line for my alarm system I never order pay per view so the only reason I have their DVRs plugged into the alarm line is so that they don't give me messages all the time that they don't have a dial tone.

I think I pay around $14 above the cost of my DSL to have a line with a dial tone. The line has zero features and no long distance. If it wasn't for my alarm system needing a line I would drop that as well.

So I guess I do sort of have a land line but the only thing plugged into is my alarm, DVRs, and a fax that almost never gets faxes but no phones are plugged into it.
