That is the reason for the phone line as well. If either are not hooked up you can not order ppv's through the receiver, you could call Dish's PPV line, but they charge you more for doing it that way.
What Dish does not tell you is, they want the receivers hooked up so they can check that they are at the phone number the customer's tell them to.
You do not have to hook up either connection, but Dish will charge for the extra tuner on most of the dual tuner receiver out there.
