This should be moved to the D* forum. They should be able to help you!

Most likely you going to upgrade your receiver

You can't find the RID because that "old" receiver doesn't have one.
DirecTV should upgrade that RCA receiver with a more current one.
Probably, the R16.

Actually the old receivers have an ID number, it's written to the card when married , no one can see it though without special tools. They just didn't post the receiver ID number on the old boxes.

BOTTOM LINE - D* will NO longer newly activate ANY receivers w/out a RID#, period. That's why they will NOT give you new card.
You're SOL with that old receiver - you'll have to get a new(er) one that at least has a RID, sorry.
