I don't see that early DVR built around a videocassette recorder. What was that thing called?
Remember how the 5000 would let you know you lost the sat signal and automatically switch to OTA and would let you know when the signal was restored so you could switch back if you wanted. It was also the first receiver with caller ID display and the add on ATSC remodulator module for HDTV.
That was the JVC D-VHS model HM-DSR100U and I am holding the manual for mine in my hand. (can't believe I still have it.)
I guess I jumped the gun by taking my 4700 to the electronics recycle bin at our dump a few months ago instead of waiting until they officially went dark!! 
I think I got dish to give me $10 credits for a couple of 510s and assorted other SD receivers a while back. Anybody need a slightly dusty DP 34 switch or a Dish Pro adapter? I could be persuaded to part with them for a modest fee.

It's a 4000 or 5000. Look at the sticker on the back. It's a sticker letting you know you need the UHF antenna
That was a pretty cool unit, it recorded the actual satellite bitstream so when you played it back there was no loss in signal quality. The 7100 was another cool receiver, with WebTV built in that was quickly abandoned but the receivers were more used for their DVR features - this was before the 501 was released.
And then there was the DishDVD receiver that never came to market. I couldn't figure out why Dish would want you watching DVDs over revenue generating PPV.
I'm just going off what it says when you click to blow up the pic

The 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 all looked the same.
The only difference was the sticker.
Just saying

Yep, Claude is right. And those old UHF receivers didn't have an IR sensor so the remote wouldn't work without the antenna. There was a UHF version of the 2000 too.
The very first install I did was for a model 4000.
Had to call tech support because I thought the remote was broken. Didn't have the antenna connected.
I thought that I had an 801 or something like that beginning with an 8, but do not see it listed on the old receiver list. Maybe it was with Directtv.
Maybe an 811. I had one of those, it became a 722
, and I think it went bust a long time ago...
You'd be MUCH happier with the local cable company here then!
Pretty sure the their non-hd/dvr boxes are the same ones used in the late 90s. I KNOW the UI is still exactly the same as they had in the late 90's, even on their HD/DVR boxes. Its beyond sad!
Anyone own the Dish Network television with integrated IRD? Don't recall the model, but sure that it was also phased out.
