So, the package is at the hub in Ft. Myers, on its way
Scott, you said no "retailers" had any, I wonder if he is a distributor and a retailer, and that is the difference?

The "Ready for UPS" tag that's been on it all day (at least for me) means the shipper has notified UPS that they have a package they want shipped.
However, as of 10 minutes ago, I just had my origin scan that confirms UPS has it.
MY HOPPER 3 IS ON THE WAY!
Mine says it will be here Thursday, hope it makes it, I can't wait to install. I'll get on it Thursday evening now that I am doing four 10 hour days and have Friday's off, I can work till late to get it all in. As much trouble as it can be, there is nothing much that I enjoy more than installing DBS/FTA satellite equipment, I know that sounds like a weird hobby, of course probably not that weird here, we do have a thread with close to 900 posts about a satellite receiver 
This will be my first install. Pretty excited to dig in to this equipment since satellite stuff is nearly the only equipment I've never worked onMine says it will be here Thursday, hope it makes it, I can't wait to install.

Where are you? West coast? I guess that's, what 5 or 6 days ground? Mine wouldn't be here as fast on ground if I wasn't just next door in Alabama.
You can't terminate host or adv client ports though.... So one would have to assume that using a duo hub for only one hopper would cause some problems. I guess the only way to find out is to try it. Prob better to just get the solo hub and be done with it. I've seen hubs get fryed due to jumpers not being terminated. So I imagine the safe bet would be go solo.
They are power passing ports. Won't that cause a backfeed of voltage? If I'm wrong, tell me how? This is just my assumption.
Oh, and its (adv.client ports) client ports can be terminated all day. But host ports pass voltage.
The voltage comes from the receiver or power inserter, not the switch or hub or node or whatever. Of course you terminate all unused ports on nodes and hubs.
