I've had great success and fun by turning a satellite dish into a super directional microphone. Any small mic will work, just position it at the focal point in place of the old microwave amp facing toward the dish. Add small headphone amplifier and listen up!

Can you use a directv dish with a dishnetwork receiver?

Just to clarify on the answers given. The LNBs are different for DISH Network and DTV along with the receivers. The LNB and receiver takes the signal from the satellite and gives you your signal on your TV. As stated, you can't use different receivers and LNB from different companies. The dish outside does not matter, just the LNB and receiver. Simply, no. The satellite dishes use different switching schemes internally for accessing the satellite transponders. Bull....loney. I'm using an old 18" DirecTv dish to receive signals from a Dishnetworks satellite at 119W. The satellite receivers will be different because different signalling protocols are used.

Can you use an old satellite dish to receive digital TV signals?

No - It can't be a Digital TV antenna - it's the wrong size, wrong shape. Most digital tv is UHF - it needs a little loop like from a coat hanger. Some digital tv is VHF - but you still can't use an old satellite dish. Not gonna happen.

Uses for old Directtv receivers and dish?

Call Dish Network and see if you own them or leased them. They will probably ask for a "R00" number that is on the back of the Dish Satellite receiver. In most cases they are leased, so you will need to return them to Dish or they may charge you for the receivers.


Can you use a old dish for any kind of reception?

Obviously you could, but the question is if you should!!! It honestly depends on the conditions of the dish. If the dish is cracked (badly) and or stained (badly) or other things similar to that have happened to the poor dish, then it is considered ineligible for getting taken to a reception.
