612- phone or Ethernet?

[tambrose]

I just got a ViP612 and currently have it connected to a phone line to avoid the $5 fee.

Are there any features or advantages to connecting it to my network instead?

I called Dish and got no useful information.

Thanks,

Dishonline will download video over the Internet if you are interested in that. Scheduling recordings remotely via SlingGuide over the Internet from dish.sling.com. Just to name a few.

The "no phone" fee doesn't apply to receivers with no TV2 output.

Great. Thanks for the info.
