The installer would have left the old box(es). Mine did. I just converted the house to SWM but did not want Genie. For one thing, if your Genie box dies; no service anywhere. If you have different dishes in the house and rv, you have to reconfigure your box every time you move it. You might talk them into sending you a new box. You can also buy a box with no contract on ebay or at a flea market but call DTV with the serial number before buying to make sure it isn't stolen or has a lien on it from an unfulfilled contract.
