Does a "Dish" dish have any value? - fredhargis - 09-15-2015
The PO at this house has Dish TV. We have landline cable, with no plans to change. I'd like to remove the dish and toss it, but if it has value I can give it to the Restore. Is that something someone might buy? I thought (but do not know) these things were usually included with the setup.

OK, it gets tossed.

You can play with it and glue some small mirrors on it. This will ignite a wooden stick, cook a can of beans and warm your hands quickly in the sun.

I now know what I am going to do with the next scrap satellite dish I come across. Thanks.

We've had Dish installers out to change our service. They don't even bother saving the old dishes.

Friendly tip - you can toss the dish and mast but leave the bracket bolted to the roof. It should have several lags holding it to the decking and they leave big holes behind. Even when we upgraded to a bigger dish for HD they left the old bracket there and installed a new one. Unless you want to patch the roof and replace the shingles....
