I changed from Dish satellite TV after having Direct TV for years.

Dish satellite has their own satellite receiver so i have a Direct TV satellite receiver that i own but is currently in a closet. Does the Direct TV receiver have any value?

In the Chicago area they're free when you sign up so for this area I'd say there is no value..

Thats what i mean, these receivers are given away free. Toss in the rubbish? Seems a shame to do

Status symbol...............mount it on your car roof or trunk lid............doesn't have to be connected to anything. Probably scare the hell out of any druggie neighbors.

Install it on the dog house to impress the neighbors...

Good ideas! They got me thinking, i could use the extra satelitte round antenna as a wok for making fried rice.

Hope you take the paint off first.

We switched the other way from DishNetwork to DirecTV a few years ago. Put the new dish and LNB on the old mounting post. Somebody bought the old dish and LNBs for $10 during a garage sale

Good idea! Thought I saw a DIY design somewhere on-line that replaced the LNB with a USB WiFi adapter. Used a USB extender cable (16 ft max) from the dish to the computer.
