Repurposing older satellite Receiver/DVR box

[Far32]

Greetings, I was going through my shed and found that I still have two Dish receivers from when i had their services. Besides recycling them, is there anything i can do to repurpose them for something useful. What is worth saving from them?
One is the much older Phillips Magnavox receiver (no dvr)
The other is DVR310 receiver
I also still have the LNBs two double and one single. Any use of these?

If its an npeg4 receiver you can pick up dish scapes with it. You also need it aimed at 119°W or 61.5°W for scapes. 72 and 110 also have free movie previews

Thanks HoppertheKangaroo18. Do you think I can use the DVR receiver as recorder of OTA channels. It has been in storage for years.

Not if it's a Dish product and you don't have an active account.

My 612 has no account and it can record OTA and dish scapes...and off air music
