well my parents moved
and dish network setup a new satellite for them so now we have the extra old satellite.
i guess its a way to coerce the new residents of our old house to sign up for service because it would be easier or something
****ing corporate america
but anyways
now that i have an extra satellite and receiver, what can i do with it? is the lnb compatible with other satellites (free ones)? could i buy a motor for the dish so i can change satellites?

mucho gracias.
its good to be back

You might be able to use it, as is, just to get weather reports and stuff.

Otherwise you might be able to re-use the dish for a point-to-point wireless link with a buddy of yours. The receiver is useless; you might be able to get a credit/refund for it, if you return it.
