NFL Package Phone Line

Please Help! I know this question had been asked before, but I am very confused. I am getting my Directv installed next weekend and want to make sure I don't make a mistake. AFter doing soem research on this forum it seems that you don't need a phone line connected to your reciever to watch NFL Sunday Ticket. However I emailed Directv and this was thier response.

"We ask customers to connect a phone line to their DIRECTV System for billing as well as program ordering and viewing purposes. The phone line sends us account information from your system's receiver box. This important link lets you order pay per view movies and events with your remote control, get access to your local Regional Sports Network (if it's included in your monthly package), and watch popular sports subscriptions like NFL SUNDAY TICKET and NBA LEAGUE PASS. This connection will not interfere with the use of your phone. If you don't have a continuous telephone connection you won't be able to access local professional and other select sports programming or order pay per view with your remote control."

So do I need it or not??
