    Just trying to install a DVR512 to replace an old DVR510 with a D301 on the other leg of a DP Twin Dish setup. Tech Support says I need a Separator to split one leg into two to input to Sat1 and Sat2 ports and run both tuners on the DVR512. Leave the second leg into the D301 where it is. Seems...
