analog receiver's use is getting less and less everyday as the world is converting to digital.
The analog box would have been good for moving the dish and controlling the feedhorn polarity.
C band is very much alive and well. Your dish was the most important thing with it's feed horn and lnb's.
A cheap free to air receiver slaved to the system would get some fta programming.
Now that your dish is gone, You need another dish.
I would recommend finding an unused solid or mesh dish around your neighborhood and re installing it at your house.
There are new options too. Sadoun sells a cheap polar mount c/ku dish that is shippable by UPS.
Read up on the forums and you will learn a lot about free to air and satellite.
Good luck and welcome to satelliteguys.us.

If the pipe is in place get a new dish, keep the receiver and slave a dvb receiver to it, you can even get 4dtv if you want some subscription services the 4dtv will replace the old analog receiver.
Thanks for the info people. The Dish was stolen because I live way out in the country and I go to Florida for 5 months in the winter. I guess it was stolen to sell for scrap as the price of scrap is so high now people are even stealing Catylic converters off new cars on the car lots.Thanks again for the info,Bear
