Can Superdish transmit a signal back to charlie?

[DVS]

Is there anyway possible that the new superdish can transmit a signal back to Charlie? I got a 1-800-859-1403 service number on my caller ID yesterday after plugging in my Magic card for the first time. Called number back and it said this number is not active at this time. I think it is just a coincidence. It’s a Magic card in camless mode setup on a subscribed receiver. I used the original receiver ID but not the same card ID. I am 99% sure this is not a possibility but that 1% lets my paranoia kick in. Please verify that this is not possible! :repuke:

Just because you're paranoid does not mean someone is not out to get you. In this case, however, you have nothing to worry about.

Be very sure your phone line is not connected at any time.

The phone line was not connected.

Superdish is one way only. And that is receive only. No secret gadgets bulit in to do two way transmission.

Charlie would be in big time trouble if he ever tried that. Sending a signal up to the bird is very tricky and requires a high degree of accuracy. Off just a bit and you mess up someone else's uplink to another bird. I guarentee they will not be happy about that at the cost of transponder time. Your average joe will get it off enough to cause these sort of outages for others uplinking.

And since the deep pocket is charlie in this case. So it will never happen.

Chuck is really happy sending ecms of all kinds and seems to have no need to pull different tricks....:)

what they will eventually do is make the reciever disable itself if it is not connected to a phoneline, much like digital cable units with the filter. It baffles me that they havn't already done this. I guess we could use the "I use my cell phone as my home phone" excuse but not with BEV, since they are the telephone company too. :p Maybe they don't see a point because they are confortable with the release of N2. But maybe once its hacked they will do this and then we have to learn how to emulate a phone call.
