Dish Projects Wanted

I have a couple of small satellite dishes (Direct TV I think) with receivers that have been sitting in the garage for a while. I hate to throw out technology that could be repurposed. Anyone have an idea for a cool DIY project I could reuse them for?

Make a long distance microphone like they use at football games. Mount a microphone at the focal point and connect to an audio amp and headphones.
