Miniature radio telescope

Can a home satellite dish be converted into a miniature radio telescope? How complicated is this to achieve? Or would I need entirely separate equipment for this?

If for Astronomy purposes then the answer is yes. There are lots of how to guides on the Internet if you Google it."
