    Upgrade from 3000 Receiver

    I want to add locals but keep my old grandfathered in Dish Pix plan. I know I will need to swap my Dish 300 for a Dish 500 (my locals are on 110). Does anyone have any suggestions on what to buy from eBay to accomplish this in an economical fashion? I can do my own installation. My current receiver is an ancient model 3000.

    All you would need is a Dish500 with either
    -Legacy singles or Duals and a SW21 or
    -(the easier) Legacy Twin or Quad

    DO NOT get a DishPro LNB. This has a big "DP" on it. It wont work with that receiver.
    Directv Slimline SWM 5 LNB and DirectvWorld dish on the roof of the apartment building...Directv HR34 AKA Genie
    All FTA stuff in storage right now

    Dish Pix, eh? What was that? 10 channels of your choosing for $15/mo?

    That was it. Funny thing is when I recently looked at the packages offered now, I only found two channels that I would like to add--other than locals. It isn't worth doubling my monthly fee for those two channels.
