 Paying for itself May 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this in February after discovering that DISH Network was billing me five extra bucks a month because I didn't have a phone line connected to my DVR. The RC930 was a little less expensive back when I bought it than it is today, but it was well worth the cost. Now DISH doesn't bill me the five bucks and as a bonus I get caller ID info on my TV screen when someone calls. Hookup was straightforward and worked the first time. Highly recommended for caller ID-capable DVRs.
Dish Network and Caller-ID compatible phone extensions April 15, 2008
I'm using the RC930 base unit with two RC930 extensions connected to two ViP622 HD DVRs.
Although Amazon recommends the RC920 extension, DO NOT buy the RC920 extension if you want Caller-ID functionality. Since I couldn't find just an RC930 extension for sale anywhere (even eBay), I bought 2 of these "base unit with extension" packs.
They work as advertised, passing Caller-ID as long as you enable the Caller-ID feature on the satellite receiver.
Installation took less than five minutes in three distinct steps:
1. I plugged in all three devices and connected the phone cords.
2. I pushed the button on the side of the base unit which caused it's green light to power on solid, indicating it was ready to communicate with the extension devices.
Notes: You may have to push that button a couple of times for it to stay on solid, vice blinking. That puts the base unit into a "security programming mode". It will stay in that mode for 5 minutes while you push the button on the side of the extension device(s). After 5 minutes the light goes out, indicating it's no longer in the programming mode. All extensions will have to be programmed during this 5 minutes, or you'll have to start again.
3. I pushed the button once on the side of the each extension device.
Notes: The light should blink once while it synchronizes with the base unit, and then stay on solid for a couple of minutes to let you know the security programming is complete. If the light on the extension is continually blinking after you press the button, it means for whatever reason, the extension can't communicate with the base unit. That's usually caused by old/bad house wiring or interference caused by other electrical devices. I don't know if that happens very often, but I have a lot of electrical devices plugged in and have no problems what so ever.
To recap, plug devices in and connect cables, push the base unit button, and then push the button on the extension. That's all there is to it and you're finished.
WORKS GREAT FOR TIVO April 9, 2008
I made the mistake of buying the RCA Wireless Phone Jack to connect my TIVO downstairs in the living room where I don't have a jack. It did not work. Once I finally re-read what I needed, I bought the RCA Wireless Modem Jack. It works perfectly and I haven't had any problems.

All you can ask for with a product like this is that it work as described. It does. Plugged in both ends as directions asked and voila. Instant service.
 Failure to maintain connection March 11, 2008
I purchase this for the phone connection to the DISH receiver. The product was easy to install and worked properly for about two days before it lost the connection. I reinstalled and again it worked for about two days before it again lost connection. So I gave up. There is no troubleshooting guide for this problem nor could I find anything on the web.
