Excuse me if this is known, I've never seen it posted before:
Listen up, Dish, there's a bug in the password screen on the 501. If you put your password in then backup to the previous cell where you entered a digit, the number is displayed. So if I was to put in the first 3 digits and backup, those digits are revealed as I move over them and anyone sitting there watching my TV as I am doing this would then know the first 3 digits of my password and could then easily figure out the rest of the password by trial and error and gain access to my system. :shocked
