Don't know, no cable (for TV) and no dish... but > Will it be required for any > kind of DSL service? DSL requires a phone 'line' at very least. I don't know that it requires an active land-line (e.g., you pick up the phone and there's a dial-tone...) My own experience is that I got tired of being jacked by the cable company every time I turned around when I had cable TV (my final month's cable bill was $125). Satellite wasn't really a reliable option 4 years ago and I already had DSL. Cancelled cable TV and then DSL went away when I found out I could get 8mbps from the cable company for ~$50/month and I didn't have to get TV through them. So now I have Comcast cable internet, Vonage for IP phone and cells.
