What to do with a spare round DirecTV dish?

[4DThinker]

Title says it all. Anyone know if a round sat dish could be used for a regular directional TV antenna? How about a solar collector after an aluminum gilding and polish? Bird bath? Parabolic microphone to listen to far away sounds? 802.11whatever Wireless internet antenna? Wok? Unique hub cap?

More ideas wanted.

Sled in the winter-time, water ski in the summer.
Bucket seat for your tractor or lawn mower
Big man frisbee
fish pond
fountain (could have the water streaming up the LNB arm(s) :)

Cheers,

Get a FTA receiver and a Dish LNB and you can use it to watch Gol TV and NASA. And listen to a few dozen audio channels.

Or get a sensitive Ku-band LNB and you could probably pick up KUIL on AMC4.

Thanks, Michael. Now tell me what FTA, Gol, and KUIL stand for/progam content? No experience with any of them before, sorry.

If you don't know what FTA is, better to make it into a bird bath, or just toss it in the dumptser.
