You can use it for receiving free to air tv.
You can sell it on eBay or keep it. There are people who are looking for satellite dish. We do not require your to return the dish from you abode. If you move, we bring out a new dish for your installation. You only take your receivers and remotes to your new location. You can leave the old dish or you can remove it and do as you like with the dish.
this is not possible with direct tv in an obvious reasons. however, you can do this with dish network. before you connect your vcr to record satellite tv program, check first if your VCR has an HDMI input. if you found an HDMI input slot, then you are good to go. connect your satellite receiver to the HDMI input slot of your vcr then attach the AV cables from your VCR to your television.
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! Pinpoint birds and other wildlife locations.
You can hook up a stereo system with a Dish satellite to an old TV with only one AC input by using the three plug RCA cable for the sound system. Then, use the AC input for the satellite itself.
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.

Echostar was formed in 1980 by Charles Ergen, Candy Ergen, and Jim Defranco. In 1987, EchoStar applied for a direct broadcast satellite license with the FCC and was granted access to orbital slot 119° satellite in 1992. In March, 1996, DISH Network made its first broadcast to customers.
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.
any where from 4 foot 2 to 6 foot 3
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.
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.
