what to do with a C-band Dish?

[kschramm]

I am clearing out my grandparents home in Western MD and there is a huge dish in the backyard. I am assuming it is C-band. In the house there are two receiver looking devices and a remote control. I remember they bought the system in the mid 80's. We could watch everything from premium channels to live feeds of national broadcast. My question is what should I do with this thing, if anything? Any ideas??

Grab it get a c/ku-band feed a 4dtv with a slaved DVB receiver and you will have the best system around.

I agree with the guys, set it up and get started in the greatest hobby in the world.
You won't regret it.
