MisterEd, it is an HR-21, HD DVR receiver.

Since it is connected via Ethernet to the mother ship, I am not sure why it is trying to call via phone.
It shouldn't be calling unless there is a PPV on your card that never got sent up from before you went network. Also you might want to call DirecTV and tell them to confirm that your receiver is showing as internet connected on your account (IPPV box enabled).

It's possible it could be trying to send useage data. You can opt out from that in your online account under "Privacy." None of mine have ever dialed out even though they all have phone lines for caller-ID and are also networked.
