Hi,
I have 3 receivers. A DVR522, 510 and an older DP301.
Several weeks ago while talking on the phone I noticed a sound on my phone like someone picking up another phone.
At the time it did not bother me much as I don't talk on the POTS phone often(had VoIP).
Now I'm back to regular phone service again and this constant sound of picking up another phone extension is starting to get annoying.
It happens about every 5 minutes or less while I'm talking on the phone.
I know it's not another phone as I can see the only other phone on my line.
So today I had enough and unplugged the phone from all 3 of the receivers.
Made some test calls and sure enough, the problem was solved.
I then plugged in each receiver one at a time and also did the diagnostic phone connection test at that time which passed on each receiver ( I also did this prior to disconnecting the line and always a good test).
The last receiver to be plugged in was the old DP301.
The problem returned shortly after plugging the phone into this 301. So it looks like the 301 is the cause of the problem.
My main question is, will they start hitting me with the $5 fee for no phone line if only the 301 is not connected to the phone line?
Both the DVR 510 and 522 will remain connected and I also do not ever order PPV with the 301.
Anyone see a problem with leaving the 301 disconnected from the phoneline?
Thanks All!
