This makes it easy. Buy a D12 receiver. It is SD only, but will work with every antenna on the market. Since it is SD only, it only needs to see the 101 satellite, so an 18" round antenna is all you really need, but you can get any of the domes/automatic antennas that work with Directv.

With this setup, you can forget SWM/Genie/all the other latest and greatest, but it works great. This is the setup I have, and have had for the last 6 years. The first 5 years with a tripod mounted 18" round dish, the last year, with a Vuqube VQ2100 automatic.
