Well I've been testing for a while now. Mostly with 301.13s. So now I want to move up So I found a 501 on ebay cheap. It is a refurb but new in the box. So it will most likely have a GT chip. So from what I've read I Should have to do a vid mod right? I s there a guide somewhere to help me do it. I've found one or two guides on 301.13s but nothing for a 501 refurb.one more thing there is a phone mod for the 301s 10s @13s desabling the modem so the caller ID will work,but it can't call dish Is there a mod like this for the 501?
