The sports programing they are talking about is most likley PPV. When you order PPV with your remote the phone line is needed for billing. One time I had forgotten that I did not have my receivers connected to a phone line for a couple of years. I let my daughter order a PPV wrestling event, which she got no problem. Then about a year later, I connected back to the phone line. It was then that I got the bill. When I saw it at first, I thought it was a mistake. Then the date of the event caught my eye. I knew then what had happened.
