It was on a pile of discards that a former neighbor left behind. A

A few dollars by selling it on Ebay, if it works.

DirecTV will NOT provision a receiver that purchased in this manner.
There's no reason they can't do it, but in order to prevent a people
from going into business selling stolen receivers, they demand that
all such receivers be returned to DirecTV. If you ask, they'll send
you a mailing box.

There's not much you're going to learn from the box. However, if you
get a dish, LNB, some coax, and spend some time getting it setup,
you'll be able to watch some promo and test channels without
purchasing service.
