Really? My Dish install was free, I have no contract, and two
dual-tuners (I pay $5/month for the second box, and the second tuner in
each box is free as long as it's plugged into a phone line). They own
the hardware.

Actually, PPV is handled in the boxes. If you don't connect to a phone
line, the boxes can't tell Dish/whoever that you ordered PPV, and you
don't get charged. When I signed up, they told me that the ONLY time
the boxes would dial out was if/when I ordered PPV stuff.
