Probably had the two adapters. An 8psk and 8vsb. YOU ABSOLUTELY need the 8psk for any Satellite HD, since they switched everything over to require it. No one should be selling a 6000 and not including the 8PSK unless they warn you. The 8vsb is for Over The Air. I don't know if dish is still essentially giving the away (cost of s/h) or not anymore. If not could cost you a bit.

Did they also ship without a Yellow card?

Sears.com still lists one of these, don't remember which one...

I should clarify, I am in Canada, will this unit still not work without an 8psk for bev HD

You don't need the 8psk for EVu but if this is a dish 6000 it will not work for evu. the software is different and they will not even activate a receiver with dish R & S numbers.
