DirecTV on my old dish/LNB
I have a 10 year old Winegard crank up satellite dish setup in my motorhome. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to use my 6 month old home receiver/DVR with my old dish? Can't seem to get a straight...

If you have an older non-HD Direct receiver you are good to go. The newer Hd receivers are a pain to get to work. On the set up page of an older receiver you can input the zipcode you are in and it will give you elevation and direction settings. Dial those in and follow the set up menu. Sometimes if I have not used ours in a while I have to call and have them do a reset at their end.

There is really no difference between setting up an "old" SD unit and a "new" HD unit for the reception of SD programming only. Anytime "any" receiver has not been connected to the satellite it will need to be reactivated. This has nothing to do with SD or HD receivers.
Only the H25 and higher model DTV receivers require special hardware but they all required being setup correctly for the attached antenna.
