I have an SL5 on the roof and usually use a HR24 receiver with a power inserteror 2 weeks I will be without my Rcvr( don't ask it's a long story). Can I just hook up one of my old D12/300 SD receivers to the dish without the power inserter? Of course the picture will be SD and not that great as that Rcvr. only has a composite output. Thanks.

I assume that you have a SWM-LNB on your dish (since you mention the power inserter and don't mention any switch). If that is true the old receiver will not work.

If you have a SWM multiswitch, the old receiver would work connected to one of the legacy ports, but you'd still need to attach the power supply to the switch.

Titan25,
Won't this D12 work if he puts a Band Stop Filter in the line next to it ?

No separate multiswitch! Darn!

My mistake, I misread the OP as R12. The D12 IS SWM compatible and will work with the SWM LNB. Leave the power inserter installed.

The band stop is only needed if he has a DECA network (for Whole Home DVR service).

Titan: Thank you for making my day!! So I just replace the HR24 with the D12 complete with the power inserter and all will be good?

Thanks

Right, leave the PI where it is and just swap the receivers and you should be good to go
