    My former TV (Look TV) provider has closed and now I am stuck with 3 RCA LookTV Microwave Receivers (TRD04M3C).
    Is there anything interesting/useful I can do with these receiver? Are there any components in them that can be useful for tech related projects?

    I took one of the units apart to see what was inside, not finding anything useful in particular. The processor appears to be a IBM PowerPC 403GB - PPC403GB

    Here are some pictures.

    Any idea what the white expansion slot might be used for? In the right/mid top area.

    This is the unit for the buttons from the front panel, has a red/green LED on it.

    Anyone has any ideas for any uses any of the components may have?
