How to work h20 with VOIP line?

[iceshark]

Have install tomorrow. I use Packett 8 VOIP. How do I setup my downstairs new H20 with my VIOP? I have a buffalo router at my TV. Do I have to run a 50ft phone cord to my VIOP box?

A phone line is only needed for ordering PPV via the remote or caller-ID. Otherwise you don't really need it. Some VOIP works with the DirecTV receivers and some types do not.

I had heard that they authorize the NFL ticket each week only if your phone line is plugged in. Did they stop this practice?

Packet8 and modems have been like oil and water.
