Well, after posting the first message here, I did some snooping around and
found that there is a limit to the amount of REN (Ringer Equivilance
SNIP
is the DirecTV receiver, a high end Samsung HD reciever, has a 0.9 REN. I
don't think the modems in these Sat receivers do very much so they are
probably very cheap.

Also note the sat modem can be disconnected except for an hour or so a
month. It is only used to upgrade encription now and then and for
order/payment of Pay for view etc. Just put a switch in the phone cord
for when needed.
