Why are the old primestar receivers selling on ebay? Primestar went away in 1998. Is there a use for these receivers?

 

[Tim Godsil]

no no no. The receivers not the dishes.

They make great door stops....

 

[Mr Tony]

yep. Thats about as good as the receivers are for...door stops.

Or they make great weapons if your house gets burglarized...
