    Question about the exchange of 508 by 512.

    Holy Crud! I wasted 45 minutes on an online chat 2 days ago, and MattG just cleared up my issues with 3 PM's. These DIRT guys are amazing. And I love Dish. :)

    Hopper and 501's

    I currently have a VIP722 and 3 501's on the account. Any idea if the 501's will be able to run with a Hopper and 2 Joeys? 3/4 switch will work?
