land line

We are considering getting rid of our land line but I do remember when we first ordered Directv we had to have a land line. We do have a DVR but we do not order anything via remote control. Can I get rid of land line or do I need to have one?

Can the Screen Saver be deactivated or the time extended before it activates?

Is there any way to disable this bloody screen saver or extend the amount of "inactive time" before the thing self activates???? It makes me mental!!!!  If the press ok message popped up after 8-12 hours, it wouldn’t bother me as much... but it pops up for me after 2 hours of not touching my remote!
