Anybody knows what model this could be?

[saturnthe1]

I found a reciever on craigslist but it's only listed as a "digital satellite system"
Does anybody know what models it could be? Could i even find an original DishPlayer in those things?

That's no receiver. Maybe an LNB bracket or some other mounting hardware,

On the left side of the box it says...........

MPEG2 Digital Satellite Receiver
18" Dish Assembly
Universal Remote Control
????/Microwave Amplifier

What does it say above that? These items also needed? Package includes?

MPEG2 means it is useless. IIRC Dish has gone to MPEG4 on all sats. It is an old SD satellite receiver.

Have never seen a receiver in a bag!

That is a BOX!

Unfortunately the label in the photo is a little blurry because it should say exactly what receiver/system is inside.

It's small enough to be an old 301/311

And it has 4 UPCs on it. That says that the box contains the four items listed.

I mean i think they're still a bit neat to have (even if it's just a paperweight)

So it could be a 301, tho i've seen 2700s and 4700s packed with this box. And a listing for a Dishplayer 7100/7200 shows a different box so i'm quite confident it isn't a Dish with WebTV

That box looks like the one that I got with my original 2000 receiver back in 1996. It came with a Dish 300 in the box along with the 2000 Receiver. Plus, I paid the up-front Annual price for Americas Top 60 (or something like that), all for under $700.

And, back then, it probably really was America's Top 60 channels.

iirc, the 301 was never packaged with a dish and it would have been the 500 by that point. I am going to guess this is a box for a 2000/3000/4000/3700/4700.

I don't think the 1000 or 2700 were ever packaged with a dish, they were intended to be sold as additional receivers.

The 1000 definitely was sold with a dish, that was my very first DISH receiver.
