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.

What's off air music?

What's off air music?

It's available on channel 474, 472, 460. If you record it or watch it it'll play music and have a screen for example: your order is confirmed for WWE elimination chamber. Now off air is channel 509 at 4:30AM you can record it and it has two songs: s7en large by euge groove and something else I forgot what its called. It also has a dish logo with some stage light animation in the background
