My initial gut was to split it out but after speaking with my AV guy he assured me this was overkill (caveat being he has no experience with this specific system). Clearly, I was still skeptical as I reached out to the community.

I have my DISH Hopper system along with several other devices on same 10Gb switch along with two RBS ethernet connected on 10Gb connections. Have had zero issues with stability.
