If the device is optional then there are two sets of what are called Binary files (BIN) for your receier. the other name (more proper) is Firmware or software (Depending on how the receiver stores it) you need the proper version of the "Ware".
Or there is a menu setting but don't ask me where.

I'm just trying to streamline my shelves and eliminate unnecessary wiring. If I wanted to keep the old, unused box on my shelf I would not have posted the original subject.

That's what I'm looking for. It doesn't surprise me that their Tech Support never heard of the AM24N.

I would, except I am concerned that I may awaken some unforeseen problem. I am close to ditching the dish, anyway. I kind of hate that I've spent so much money on the automatic dish and other equipment to make the dish work.

If your automatic antenna is a Winegard the tuners condition will not effect it in any way. I use the Trav'ler with DirecTV and have done the factory reset a couple of times without issue. If the message really bothers you it's likely your best choice. The receivers are intentional setup so you can screw with the programming.

That's the big question. I could probably do a hard reset of the receiver. I think that's #981 but you lose all your recordings on that receiver.
