Update on my MotoSat and Direct TV situation. In answer to one of the posts above, I'm not sure how the receiver is set, since with the new Direct TV remote, you cannot access the dish again. I got a nice call today from Tom, a rep with Satellite Electronics who was up at the FMCA rally. He said mine is a common problem with MotoSat users. He believes if I purchase one of the older RCA receivers on EBAY, I may be able to hook that up with an A/B switch, without having a card, just the unit. Use the old receiver to lock into the satellite and then switch to the new Direct TV receiver to watch it but it requires a new coaxiable cable to be run up through the roof to the back of the motosat dish.
By the time he was describing what had to be done, I had thought it was just better to get a new system at this point. He recommended the Wineguard Traveler. For regular resolution, you could get the old dish replaced for about $ 1100 and for HD, it might be around $1999. I hope you find this helpful. Technology marches on.
