...can repurpose an old dish to concentrate the signal and replace the LNB with a receiver?
The large difference between the wave length of satellite frequencies and OTA will make a typical Ku dish nearly useless at OTA frequencies. If you have an old C-band dish about 10' in diameter, you can get performance similar to the 4-bay panel designs.
