I've got a minor situation here with the ReplayTV service, and I'm not sure who's pointing the finger at the right culprit.
Simply, my dial-in number for my house cannot be reached from my house! When I dial it (and all combinations with the 1, area code, etc.), I get a standard "sorry, your call can't be completed as dialed - check number and try again" recording. From a few miles down the road at work, I dial the phone number and get the modem as expected!
A call to ReplayTV says it is simply a problem with the phone company, and the phone company gave me some mumbo-jumbo about the owner of the phone number needing to make some sort of deal with the company to carry the number...which I neither understand or believe.
Can anyone shed some light on who exactly I should call and who is really responsible for such a thing?
For reference, I'm at (607) 625 exchange (Apalachin NY, just outside Binghamton, NY. Zip 13732, the number I'm trying to dial for replay (as listed for Binghamton) is 607-240-0009, and my phone company is Citizen's Communications.
