DSS Box has a phone # which roughly gives location (Score 1)

DSS box must be connected to a phone line. They will (should) see that the area code on you box's line is not in the boondocks. If the box does not correctly respond to a call from their service setup guy your card will not be activated as you want. Likewise if you want a 2nd box billed for the the few bucks additional to your regular service, it's gotta be on the same phone line as your primary box and respond accordingly.
